In the past few months, I
haven't been able to raise my left arm or bend my knees, without saying a
prayer first. With ten working days to the
Finish Line (nine with students, one, packing and moving boxes), all I can think
about is booking appointments with health care practitioners and filling my prescriptions
at the drugstore.
Today, with no report
cards or granddaughters in the horizon, I had no excuses to neglect myself. Regardless of my asthmatic cough, both laughter and allergy-induced, for which I cannot take my
puffer because my locked jaw (one nacho too many last week) doesn’t open wide
enough, I reacquainted myself with the swimming pool and the steam room. Although initially, my body,
now 13 pounds overweight, horrified my sight, I was proud of her, ploughing through
water like a stubborn old mule.
At this moment, a wing away from Chicken Masala, (I put a turmeric and ginger paste on my inflamed neck and shoulders), I only have one advice to give. ENJOY WHILE YOU CAN! There is no such a thing as it’s never too late. It seems that everything has its season, even laughter, popcorn and nachos! Accepted and filed! What have you accepted and filed today?
