What a difference a day makes. Last night I felt rotten. I was tired and my muscles ached and I was feeling a bit depressed. I had a cup of chamomile tea, took two Tylenol PM's and headed to bed early. I slept okay, woke up every few hours and just felt like I wasn't getting a good rest. I was awake by 5:00 am but it took me till 5:30 to decide to face the day. Once I was up and going I got into my morning yoga and workout. I immediately felt better. I put on the knee brace before tackling the stair stepper and was able to complete over 200 steps (yesterday I was in pain by 10). I was then off to shower, had my coffee, dressed and played with the dogs before heading to work. I feel so much better today! Yesterday I was really doubting that I could accomplish my trekking goals, today I am ready to go.
I need to know I will be confronted with set-backs and obstacles in my journey. Nothing is ever simple in life and especially at my age. I do have an attitude though that you are only as old as you feel, and I do not feel any older than I did ten years ago ( I would say 20 - but I honestly felt better in my 50's than I did in my 40's). I have to keep reminding myself that I will be 65 on my next birthday. I do keep getting little reminders in the mail as I get Medicare info in the mail weekly. Decisions will have to be made in the coming months regarding that. Age may be just a number - but as far as the government is concerned I'm a senior citizen.
Well I've not much else to share today. I haven't had any sudden moments of enlightenment or clarity. Just a renewed belief that I can accomplish the goals before me.
