My old friend arthritis
paid me a visit this week ~
unwelcome and jabbing
and grabbing at joints
hobbling my morning walks,
my afternoon walks.
Did I take any missteps?
Too much sugar
Not enough yoga
Skipping exercises
Trying to push through discomfort
Walking in the heat of these days
(Just don’t tell anyone.)
Settling into the cool,
resting, writing and reading,
watching TV and gentle exercise
has eased discomfort ~
Just in time for a short walk…..
“My message is - keep moving. If you do, you’ll keep arthritis at bay.”
