You can ALWAYS find someone worse off!

But I do ever hate it when my body reminds me of my chronological age! All those boxes I moved (yes, I know I'm spozedta have a weight restriction on lifting!) last night on top of working an 8 hour day out in the heat reminded me that Im not 25 any longer. I hate that especially since it happens so infrequently that it is all the more glaring when it does. For the most part I'm so much happier, healthier, empowered and just plain 'better' than I was at 30. Funny, huh?

I am truly, truly happy that I am vigorous and strong! Thankfully contrasting with that poor woman at the zoo today who was so grossly obese that she broke two of the electronic carts before she was through- she spilled out on both sides and to the front equal to the amount in the carriage! Gotta give her credit for leaving her house; but ye gods - I can't begin to imagine going through life that way. I know how my Mom battled with her weight and the lack of a hip joint - what a brave woman she was. Ok - veering off that topic as I don't wanna get morose.

I'm a very, very fortunate woman in many, many ways and it's always better to count one's blessings than nit-pick the past. (trite but true saying #102) I'm having the time of my life this summer, in many ways and having some lovely adventures!

Gonna take a hot bath with BathTherapy - gotta love that stuff - and then head to bed.
