Am I Doing Enough?
In the worst way I want to walk. I think about it often and it occurs to me that I am not doing enough or pushing myself beyond my comfort limit.
I am not pleased with the everlasting tedium of being held captive to this metal contraption nor to being dependent on others to reach for things either just out of the grasp of my fingertips or ridiculously beyond my reach.
And I miss real sqishy hugs without the awkward bendy ouchy where the heck do I put my arm maneuvers being performed with the grace of, well, someone like me.
What more can I do?
Is what is going on in my brain totally preventing my mobility or could I overcome some of those effects?
Well it certainly would not hurt to try an experiment to see what happens. I would like to go out hand in hand with Bob this spring to help plant the best salsa and veggie soup garden we have ever had. Strange as it may sound, I missed the weeding, digging and mowing.
I think the best time to start such an experiment would be now. Why wait for a constricingt box on the calendar to mark a Fresh Start or to conveniently provide a built in procrastination gimmick?
Wish me well.

ReplyDeleteYou can lean on me anytime.
I want to be there to see you walking and reaching and especially getting those hugs around the waist almost nose to nose. I know you can do it!
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies. I have kicked it up today. Feelling a bit of the effects but feeling good about it.
ReplyDeleteGo Diane - Go, go, go!
ReplyDeleteBut be careful! Ha!
