When dealing with a bad back, certain actions can worsen the pain or delay recovery. No matter if it’s a bad back or some other challenge our body is facing, we will often push through those activities we know will cause strain. Although I am fully aware there are certain undertakings that intensify my back pain, I typically tough it out and ignore my brain and body. I do it anyway, because someone has to do it.
As I age, it’s hard to admit there are things I can’t do anymore.
I should instead stick to watering my flowers. 😉
Sure, there are things I can’t do as well as I did them 30 years ago — but there are also some things I must admit I have to leave to someone else. Weedeating is one of those things. The twisting while holding a long tool away from my body always results in me walking around like I’m 100 years-old by evening. Still, it’s one of the things on my to-do list for today. ARG!
How are you spending your holiday weekend?
There’s a vast difference in the way I’m spending my weekend and the way my favorite brother and sister-in-law are spending theirs. They are in Hawaii — currently on the big island after spending the first week in Maui…
And I’m spending my weekend in rural Indiana…
Thing is — we’re both relaxing in our most favorite places on the planet. 🙂
Now you know: The founder of McDonald’s Japan, Den Fujita, stated “if we eat McDonald’s hamburgers and potatoes for a thousand years we will become taller, our skin become white, and our hair blonde” as part of his strategy to sell McDonald’s in Japan.
