It has been a crazy hectic few months. I have been busy, busy trying to do my best to make sure my parents have what they need and help my sister get her place in order and meals prepared so she doesn’t have too much to worry about as her broken leg continues to heal. So – it has been pretty physically demanding on me and my poor neck and shoulders have been aching, stiff, and sore. My sister knows a woman who does massage therapy and got me an appointment for today. I laid on the wonderful heated table and did my best to relax as she worked through some of the knots that set up residence under my shoulder blades. It was one of those “it hurts so good” experiences. Tonight my arms felt like noodles, but I definitely wasn’t as tense and tight. I realized that I should probably have this done a little more often to keep myself in the best working condition. It was funny that the “Daily Food for Thought” that I subscribe to said today, “The body is like money, in this sense, it is a horrible master but an excellent servant.” My sister and I have been trying to figure out all day exactly what that means. I often feel that my body really is the boss of me and that I have to fight to try to make it do what I want it to do. Perhaps that is the point – to keep on going even though I don’t necessarily “feel” like it, but also to know my limits and practice self control when it is needed.

I Found God today in a wonderful massage to help my body feel better and be able to function properly.
