@artscaping Chris - You speak the undeniable truth. And no doubt in my mind you played that volleyball game! You GO girl! 💪🏼

As a mother of 2 athletes, and wife of 1 athletic husband who've had multiple concussions, head gashes, stitches, broken noses, shattered elbow, SVT, migraine, sprained ankles, broken foot, shin splints, torn ACL and meniscus (hmmm...am I forgetting anything else?) and still played sports....I GET IT. Not to mention, my mother who at 28 was hit broad side on her motorcycle by an 18 year old coming out of his high school parking lot, foot lose and fancy free. Youth is precious, daring, courageous and yes, invincible at times but, not immune to cause and effect.

Mindfulness teaches that we live in the moment. Part of that is seizing the moment, stupid as it may be, which you did. And I bet you have incredible memories from the fun times while you were young, active and enjoyed the hell out of life! 😁

I'm sorry for how you suffer as a result. Life can be one big hindsight cant it? Hey, look on the bright side...you notice I didnt include myself in any of the demonstrated fun up top? That's because yours truly was never active or involved in things that could hurt me. NEWS FLASH...here I sit with neuropathy anyway. Go figure.

It makes my heart happy to hear of your fun times, back in the day. I can just imagine your spunk, grit and tenacity!! It shines through to this day, even if a duller version, you still got it Chris. 😊 Be well and have a restful evening.
Rachel
