@jakedduck1 😂 You are so funny too, Jake. Maybe dangling a carrot instead of a candy bar would work, for the horse, that is. I know what you mean though. I used to ride horses often, but I know I could never climb up there nowadays. Stiffness, pain, and also being vertically challenged, at 5'2'.
It's raining here today, but I'm hoping it might stop in a few hours so I can get out there again with my trusty pedometer. I did 1744 steps yesterday, so beat my record of the previous day by about 200 steps.
Gawd, stop it, Laurie! I'm turning into an obnoxious braggart, but I'm just so thrilled about my new-found semi-active lifestyle. It's been over two years since the dreaded GCA hit, which shut me down completely. I'm still on weekly Actemra injections, which I think is one reason for this gradual improvement. It feels awesome to be getting back to Life.
Hoping you'll have easier days soon, Jake.
Warmest wishes,
Laurie

@artist01, Just catching up and smiling at the carrot vs candy bar dangle as enticement for @jakedduck1.

Pretty sure all of us are royally celebrating with you, Laurie, on your thrilling return to a more active lifestyle. N o t h i n g feels better than feeling better again after a long illness or incapacitation! Whether we measure our progress in inches or miles, just acknowledging our improvements can be hearty medicine in itself and serve as encouragement to others as well!

Wishing that the coming of Spring will bring happier and healthier days for all.
