a pain in the neck

Monday morning. Before I even start my day.

I leaned over the dishwasher to throw some dishes in - just to tidy up before I begin work - and ZING! Down my neck, through my shoulder, into my right arm. Intense pain. Deep, sharp pain.

Monday mornings are Monday mornings already. But it's bright and sunny out - it's spring - I was determined to be optimistic about the day and the week ahead - and then that?

I blew out my knee two weeks ago at the Y, and haven't been back since. This morning I thought I would attempt a return to work out - but wham!

And I've got a list of work to do - of course.

I'm going to breathe this kink out.
Practice with me. . .

It's Monday. Lovely, peaceful, gentle Monday.
The start of all things good.
A clean slate, and an opportunity to spin the world in all different directions.
The sun is wonderful and warm. The grass and all things growing are surging forth with new growth.
The colors of nature are vibrant and alive.
A day for health and healing.

Breathe in through the nose. Fully - bringing nurturing oxygen to all parts of (this aching body!)
And out through the mouth. Taking pain away.

I think we need Sunday night again. . . ?
Start this thing over?
Skip the dishes?
Who cares about cleaning?
There's always tomorrow to work?. . .

Bueller?
