Ever since my cardio physical therapy, I have experienced terrible pain in my right shoulder to the point where reaching, lifting, and even sleeping can be difficult. Thanks for the physical therapy guys… David, who has arthritis in his back and knees, now has a job as a bank teller – standing all day. Neither of us is in a position where we can just stop working and we will probably have to work far longer than we ever planned.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of plans and charting a course… funny things happen on the way to a goal. Don’t be surprised if where you wind up was not on your course. That’s not necessarily a bad thing… as you know, I thought I moved to Maine to open a B&B – where I wound up was divorced, coming out, meeting someone, and moving to Florida (a place I thought that nobody lived there on purpose). That’s the condensed version, but while my life may be less glamorous and less financially stable, it is far richer than ever. <BR/><BR/>I have found that these times of crises are usually a precursor to a breakthrough. It sounds like you are on the threshold and ready to take that next step…Thomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06173399178922693064noreply@blogger.com
