Having been gave a diagnosis of osteoarthritis in my right  left and lower back in the fall of 2023.  I  had all this begin in late March 2023.   I previously walked all around due to not owning a car.  I went on disability in 2007.  So on a fixed income I walked many many places in every span of time.  I do so to help mr calm anxiety as well. Yep it helps.  So coming around to a specific form of self care.  Not doing barely any moving than I absolutely have to is a real cramping of my style.  It is worth a super very solid try I convinced myself.  So  there you have it , that is my story and I am sticking to it.  I would have gone over to the bank a few blocks away. I would also have gone to the Library. Also the food pantry only for a minimum of things I would have had to carry back, and oh yes I did wish to buy some wine too. I went to lay on the bed instead with a pinch of stoic squeezed into my brain and mind. It worked out med good. Now my work is cut out for me to do this on the next two or three days for extra measure.
