The clock on this quote shows about the time I am awake to get ready for my GYM Workout. Early mornings work best for me.

Once I get up and walk the kinks out I am on my way. I was in a car accident a few years ago and live with chronic pain in my upper back and arthritic neck due to disc damage.  My left knee is arthritic under the knee cap and a large benign tumor on the side of it.

A new injury in my left arm and rotator cuff has set me back a wee bit. I am not perfect! There are days that I do get frustrated with pain. As one dear friend explained to me that this is the ‘new me’.

 I deal with it all quite well as I have  terrific support from my Hubby and family. The determination is there for me to never allow the pain to consume me. That is why I think of myself as a ‘strong Lady’. I will deal with it the best I can and come out of it “the winner”.

I truly believe that my “attitude” towards the pain is important.

I am not a “woe is me” kind of Lady. With the different aches and pains I shared I only hope to inspire others to take care of your body the best you can.

I will continue with my workouts, power walks and going to the GYM as long as I am able. Keeping my muscles strong helps all the other issues.

My gratitudes are still many! I am most grateful that I am able to attend a GYM and still do the workouts that I do. The weights have been lighter to help my muscles and not aggravate the shoulder.

Happy Monday Everybody. Thank you to all  my fantastic followers and to all of you that stop in from time to time to ‘like’ a post or just to take a ‘peek’. I appreciate every comment I receive.  I started my little Blog in January and was so nervous and at times still am. I have 107 followers and over 5000 hits as of today and with that I am grateful.

There is so much to learn and am having fun learning new things every day.
