The perks of Rehab mingling

Yesterday morning while pushing iron in my fav gym, I overheard my next bed neighbour,an 80 something woman chatting about her slow recovering knee replacement and her never ending pain....she did it in a strong English accent. My empathetic side rose up, needing to offer my sympathies, I struck up a conversation with her.... So....Are you from London??? Have you met the Royal Family??? Will you watch "the wedding"??? In my defence I offer...I was in full Royal Wedding fever....without missing a beat this quick thinking ex RAF vet related this wonderful story... She was 19 in dress blues in the crowd at Princess Elizabeth's Coronation watching the arrival of the Queen Mother. In the first row in the queue along the red carpeted walkway she saw the Queen Mom slip on a leaf on the path. The regal woman turned to her military escort and clearly said...."Clean this FUCKING path immediately" she then turned to the crowd and continued with the Royal Wave....BEST physio moment....ever

Recipe for inner peace

If you can start the day without caffeine,
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,

If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,

If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,

If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without alcohol,

If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,



...Then You Are Probably .........

Never look back

New strategies for getting through April must include moving forward, thinking positively and not reliving the past.

The challenge that is April

So sorry my Dear Readers in my "lack of Post". I blame it all on April, the month that shouldn't be. Since 1990 it has beaten my ass yearly and 2011 is not to be missed apparently with the onslaught of calamity, crises and just plain catastrophe. SO!! I will regroup, reassess and reorganize and resume....soon.
