Dear Friends,
Am I glad this school year is almost over! Not so much because it was a hard, cold year, which it was, but because I was not as strong as I wished to be. The last box that I kicked across my classroom today, rubber stamped my invalidism!
Although pushing fifty-nine, singlehandedly, in a ruthless cosmopolitan city is exercise enough, I’m dedicating my summer to fitness, not to look good, but to become sturdy again.

Last summer, hunched over a
sofa table I call desk, chained to one of the most decorative, but
uncomfortable chairs in the universe, tapping away eight hours a day, with one hand, I paid for my memoirs with my spine, shoulder, neck and arm. However, I will not succumb
to anti-inflammatories and muscle-relaxants. I’m going to put this Humpty Dumpty back
together the old fashioned way, with exercise, diet, a lot of positive attitude, some spirituality and a bit of common sense. I'll start listening to my body's wisdom, which includes not tapping away with one hand. However, since it would be
next to impossible to ask my mind to remain quiet during my renaissance project, I'll blog my triumphs and challenges. Maybe my short and simple postings will inspire you to
take better care of your health too, or perhaps they will encourage you to appreciate it more. If nothing else, my restoration journal might make you realize how lucky your are, not to be me!
This is the summer of honouring my body! Accepted and filed! Till the next time we meet, what are you planning to accept and file?
