Back to Life!!

[Christine13]

When did I give up my life??  Was it when Brian died?  Or when Covid hit?  Anyway, I'm trying to jolt myself back to life with Spring about to be here.  I wake up, with aches and pains due to arthritis every day.  Well, you know what they say helps you get over arthritis, and smoking, is moving and walking  or exercising every day.  So today, I took a 25 minute walk with my daughter and her dog.  It made me feel alive again!!  I ache yeah, but so many people have so many, many health challenges.  It's time I got off my pity pot and got back into life!!

I think a part of me died away without Brian.  I will be 66 years soon.   Heck that's not old, is it??  I have the mentality of a 40 year old, but I look in the mirror and I see this old lady looking at me!!  I am alternating between funks and being ok, just have to put more of an effort here.  I will not sink quietly into the night.  I will not, I won't smoke and I'll stand up as tall as I can get.  I will not give up!!  It's time to make good and live again!!
