Birthday 70

This is the season to be Grateful! I’m grateful I made it 70!

The other day, Bodos posted some words on Facebook about being grateful. On Slack (3rd F channel), I saw something Bone Thugs posted on Gratitude (a poem by Edgar A Guest). Great words!

A few weeks ago, I was planning to do 70 burpees today (7 minutes of burpees, 10 burpees each minute). (Homer: Sorry about the lack of Burpees!) But about two weeks ago, I developed “sciatica”. (The doctors used some other terms.) The symptoms are pain down the length of my left leg. The source of the problem is in the vertebrae, but I have no back pain at all. I hope this will clear up in a few weeks (or sooner!). I start PT tomorrow.

Among other things, I am grateful for good health and the people of F3. Even if my health isn’t currently perfect, I have been very fortunate. I’ll be even more grateful when this goes away!
