I am back to work after a short time away. Back pain has kept me off my feet for over a month and life with alternating heating pads and ice packs, plus visits to the chiropractor have taken its toll. But I can see life at the end of the tunnel.
Since I work at a fairly large used car store, I am on my feet and walking quite a bit. But if I take it slow and steady I am doing fine.
Fortunately the weather has cooperated and that ice and snow is staying far to the north, leaving us here in GA with 60 degree weather, even if it is a tad rainy. So being outside has not been too painful. It makes me appreciate those times sitting at my desk, even if for just short periods of time. But I am not complaining–I am blessed and appreciate the opportunity to work.
So for me, I am back in the saddle again. And I am glad to be back among my fellow associates whom I respect. I appreciated the well wishes for me as I came back to work. It was good to be missed. However now it is time to buckle down and do my job.
My next goal is to see if I can get back on my bicycle. The last thing I want to do, is to have a set back, so I am going slow. But soon I will hear the call of the road and trail to ride. After all, to be truly back in the saddle, means that bicycle saddle too. One day at a time–one step at a time–one pedal turn at a time.
