I don't mind the drive, but I hate the time it steals from my life. I do Kiegel exercises while driving - it's all I can really manage. Then I always walk my dog for twenty to thirty minutes.

Without exercise I am in almost constant pain from hunching over my sewing. I love sewing but have to keep it in perspective. I belong to a circus skills group and train with them twice a week for two hours each session. It is fantastic physically and mentally.

That's wonderful! I wish I could join you. But with this darned hip (degenerative osteoarthritis), I'm unable to walk any distance. Well, I CAN walk, but eventually I end up nearly doubled-over with sharp stabs of pain that always catch me unawares. I wish I could do some sort of exercise. Instead, I'm trying to keep my weight down, which isn't any fun at all. Do enjoy your "me time." More often than not, mine is spent with my Bible and a study, or on the computer.FlourishingPalmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191140553844000267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-23335851934080109632012-03-15T04:26:59.205+10:002012-03-15T04:26:59.205+10:00Hi Jenny.

I know to my detriment what pushing yourself can make us sick - I have developed ME and have been struggling with it for 4 years now - I am slowly learning the lesson of putting yourself first and looking after my own needs - this isn't selfish but a must! I hope that you enjoy those times and feel better for them. Take care.
