Lemme start again with the “Awareness”

I like this much better!

I wanted this blog to be something people want to read.  I just re-read my first entry (March 14, 2011), and I don’t feel like reading something that tells me what I “should” do.  That’s not any fun!  So…Lemme start again with the “Awareness”…

Awareness and Sustainability are two very popular buzz words these days.  So it started me wondering, “what does it mean when I try and relate them to my body?”

Occasionally, I have some discomfort somewhere in my body.  If I get some exercise, or go dancing, or on a short hike like at ‘Aiea Heiau, chances are my body will let me know that it was happy we got some heart-rate increasing activity in.  It lets me know by saying, “I’m feeling it today, still.”  And it keeps saying it for the next coupla days.

This is my “Awareness”. 

Oh, then lately, I have been hearing grunts when I stand up from sitting on the floor, or in the theater when the movie is done.  I look around, and there’s nobody else there.  Hmmm…  I can’t believe it’s me!  I don’t eally want to start calling it the inevitable “aches that come with old age”.   Cannot be!  Not yet!  I can be pretty stubborn at times, and this is one of them.  I refuse to let “old age” be the reason for feeling a little stiff and using that word…”Yoisho!” every time I stand up.

This ‘awareness’ has kinda sorta forced me to get help in staying flexible and therefore, out of pain. 

I’m sure you’d like to hear what I have to say next.  I can say a lot about my experiences, and then you can pick and choose any, or all, of the things I’ve tried to keep my body from giving me that “Awareness” jab.

I’m going to write a little bit about the different things I’ve tried so far, in my quest to keep my body from turning against me.  But it’s late right now, so I’ll work on my list and add to this blog over the next month or so…oh, yah…I’m also a Top Notch Procrastinator, but I won’t let that stop me from being timely with this blog!

Goo’night!  Susan
