@craigo3154 I only got 4 hours of sleep last night. I've got a personnel problem with one of the young attorneys. This morning, when I got up, I spent time in a spiritual meditation over the Prayer of Saint Francis. When I finished, I was at peace that I must be kind, supportive and at not be anxious.
Back to my report:
Since last Christmas time, it's become apparent that I now have chronic issues with my lumbar back vertebrae. My usual exercise has been plagued by pain.
I can always walk, and I do. Tomorrow, I have an appointment with an exercise physiologist. I am excited to meet her.
Yes x 3

@RangerRickL. Good that you have the meditation to help calm and refresh the mind (especially when sleep is not cooperating). I need to remember to consciously do things like that more often.

No good that you have lower back pain, that can be hell to deal with. Hopefully the exercise physiologist can help.

But as @RangerRickL said to me a little while back (paraphrasing) I know when you commit, you get ugly done.

Almost 2 weeks of family, outings, food, travel, vehicle malfunctions,.. and now my/our beloved 16.5 yo cat companion has a growth on her abdomen....surgery to be scheduled.

I’m taking long walks.

I’m reminding myself that my eating too much won’t heal her or help me deal with the grief. I’m Making healthy food choices- just a little too much of them.

Wt nov 27 156 we leave on camping trip
