Jealous :-(

My second day back after a sabbatical - may need to take another sabbatical soon…

Reading today’s posts and responses, I am SO jealous when I read suggestions for walking as a distraction. I used to walk a minimum of 5 miles a day and loved it! Now mobility issues don’t allow that and high COVID numbers in our state have caused cancellation of “elective” surgeries like the one(s) that could address mobility issues. 😞

So, I don’t want to be smoking, I can’t walk w/o high levels of pain, and I really don’t want to give in to feeling sorry for myself. As I drink water, deep breath, meditate, read, and knit I try hard to think of these as things I enjoy, not as poor substitutes for things I want to do…

Obviously this is a rough day. I know that one day things will be better…
