Doing what you can

One of the questions I was asked by a PT student when I visited their class was what activities that I used to do, but that I can no longer do. This was tough, because I try to concentrate on what I can do, not what I can't. It was good to realize this. But it is true that I am limited. The one that popped out at me was no longer instructing in tai chi. I must admit that as a loss and mourn it. And move on. In all my activities and exercise classes, when people apologize for not being able to complete some task, I tell them NOT to apologize. We all do what we can, and that is all we can do. If we are limited, that is the way it is and we don't need to apologize.

So what I can do is take a hike in the glorious wintertime mountains with my husband ... and that is what I did yesterday. The view was grand!
