T is for Time.

Which is what it takes to heal from surgery. I have to keep reminding myself of this. And reminding myself that if I had gone to another doctor, I would still be on crutches. So I’ve got to take my time and go slowly to make sure I heal properly. I just wish time didn’t go by so slowly!

S is for Stone Massage.

I saw on tv that stone massage is becoming popular. Many people even like to find their own stones. The minerals in the stones found in oceans are considered therapeutic. The types of stones used differ from person to person and for each body part. The best ones for the abdominal area are large, flat, weighty stones. Some even look for a variety of stone colors for their massage.

R is for Ready.

I am ready to heal! Following my foot surgery I am still limping around. But I am ready to heal. I start my physical therapy tomorrow and hope it is not too painful! I also ordered a tissue rejuvenating product to help speed up the healing process. I hope I am ready when it comes to doing the hard things to regain my stregth!

Q is for Quit.

Which is what I often feel like doing in this job of parenting. I know it’s impossible to do. But the feelings sure come often during the teen years. Here’s to hoping that if I never quit, things will turn out all right in the end.
