I saw the acupuncturist
today. Not sure if my actual "chi" has improved, it may be the
30min of forced relaxation time. Either way, my feeling is it
can't hurt......or can it?! .... that was a joke.
My knee rehab has been going well. Like any other athlete, (or at
least that's how I rationalize it) I've had my fair share of
wrenches thrown in the mix, but each time I'm leveled out by a good
friend or maybe just reality. This is where I am, this is what
I can do today, and this is how I smile.
I found this comic in the newspaper the other day and tore it out
and put it in my back pants pocket. About four days later I
found it destroyed in the dryer. Guess how long it took me to
find it on the internet,....hold your hair down.....!!!about 2
minutes, that's right, as Mark C. says, "all those looks and a brain
too!".
It made me smile because it was randomly simple, and when I walked
into the quiet all too Zen, soft, sound of running water, no shoes
acupuncture office I thought of this comic and muffled a giggle
trying not to further instill the "blonde" stereotype.
One day at a time and I'm almost back on the bike, back on the roads.
One smile at time, one oddly placed humorous thought, and I'm closer
to the person I'd like to be. Bring on the porcupines!!
