Christmas
Another year has been and it is holiday time again.
The summer days are here in NZ. We are starting to enjoy the summer warmth – I love it. The local climate is usually pretty kind with long warm days in the 20sC.
I don’t think Ellie and Mac love the heat. They look a little stressed on the hottest days so we are careful not to walk them in the warm – so that means morning or evening excursions!
My shoulder is now good enough to mow the lawns again and I even did two pull ups on my bar in the shed (but don’t tell my wife!) Still rather sore at times – I am making sure each day is active with some gentle stretching and range of movement stretches to get me back to strength. “We can rebuild him!”
I have spent a fair few weeks this second part of the year injured and recovering. Has given me some new perspectives. I realise how much I push myself – always. So when I am tired or grumpy or unwell I have usually done it to myself. Even when I tore my calf muscle I did not stop. Not any more!
Take it easy these holidays everyone. Peace.
