Wondering about my Wanderings

I'm back

I am feeling better today after a long siege of nursing my back. I had a lot of opportunity to try it out at work. I was able to baby it enough to get through my shift. The most important thing is for me is to slow down on all fronts and keep my posture in a way that allows my spine to get the flow of chemicals just right. When I slouch, I find myself courting pain and that tends to be what happens when I am tired. I notice the numbing dissipating. The joy of being back even aback is speaking loudly in and through me. I did find out I have an arthritic back and will have good and bad days. The main thing for the moment is to focus on what I can do rather than the new limits that seem insurmountable.

It was great to see Dick Olson for lunch. I feel like I am maturing into being with as opposed to being needy. It felt good to hear DIck's story. I hope one day I can find a place to do and be the same. As I said to mom it is about seeing I can make a difference despite or in spite of what I say or do.
