Over the weekend, i become one of those persons "who need that seat more than you do". My back really hurt, for no particular reason at all, and that was of the things that made me feel worse. Probably a combination of really bad posture and over exertion, and not because i helped a hot lady with her heavy groceries (following which she made dinner for me out of gratitude and being too full i fell down a flight of stairs on the way home) or did a spectacular bicycle kick on the pitch.
It also made me miss the catalysis forum, not that i really wanted to go but i had a really hard time explaining my absence, and since i am nearly recovered, i dont think i managed to convince that i had a valid excuse.
anyway, the whole thing made me realize (not for the first time) that we should appreciate what we have. when any movement results in pain (i guess i have a really low threshold for pain), you really dont want to move at all. It made me think what life would be like if i could no longer use my legs, or my eyes (because it was really hard to watch tv lying down) i felt it was something great to be able to leap or run or jump, and also many sights i have not seen, many things i have not done. it's true, we never appreciate what we have until its gone.
delight in the everyday things you can do, and take care of your physical health too

I found out that when you walk slower i.e. limp, your world slows to a crawl too. Which is not a bad thing since I became more observant of my surroundings.
