Tailbones, Bradford Pear Trees and Nike+

So my back still hurts, and to add insult to injury, my shoulder is showing signs of wear and tear too! It's like I am fighting body maintenance issues!

I'm still going to walk today though. I can't quite shuffle yet. Trying to get an appointment with the Dr. I'm a late-goer when the Dr is involved. My deductible is too high and I never feel like they actually do what I want them to do.

I can tell you that on days I walk, I feel better about life and myself. Just getting out and listening to good music, a great podcast or book makes me feel like I have lavished myself with indulgence.

I wrote to Gloria Santos of Ray of Hope. I told her about what you all are doing for her work. I'll let you know what she says when I hear back from her. The last time I was there she was still on dial up. That coupled with the truth that she spends weeks at a time on a boat in the remote areas of the Amazon, with no internet service, makes her responses sometimes slow in coming.

Thank you for coming with me on this journey. Now I've got to walk, (which right this week, makes me look like a lob-sided cowgirl)
