Driving Ms Tracy

Well friends of ours stopped by on their bike ride this morning and Tom unknowingly named the title for this weeks activities. I'm still restricted by my "surgical arm" so no driving, and very limited walking to boot. My sister Jenn, my friend Sheila, and Bill have been my drivers this past week. A little outing to a local shop is about it for me. A ride to the beach to see the heavier surf, a ride to the river to meet Beth and Rich for a sandwich, a ride to get a yogurt and back is the good life for the moment. The good life is what is in focus and each moment I must concentrate on the fact my body is trying to fight and heal every day and will be for some time. I am learning to be more patient with myself and trying not to undo any forward momentum I have toward good health. As Beth says sometimes you just have to plan what you want for lunch rather than planning on what will happen next week. A moment at a time is working pretty well.
