Asleep

So I've decided that I will be blogging about the moment I'm in. I might reflect back a little bit, but I truly try to live by the, "Live in the Moment" approach!
So at any random moment my foot or arm falls asleep. Right now, my left foot is sleeping not so peacefully. Unless you've kept up with me lately, you may not know about my health situation...thus, the weird discussion about my foot...I've had back/neck issues for over ten years. It all came to a head about four months ago. After many tests, tears and thousands of dollars...there was some improvement, but not much hope for being 100%. Then I was a victim of a Friday the 13th incident...I was in a minor car accident that would have probably been fine for someone without the issues I've been having. To make a long (pityful) story short, I was sandwiched between a big truck and a small SUV..bounced around a few times. This brings me to now (sort of). It at least brings me to why I'm talking about my sleeping foot. The issues with my neck and back are connected with my spine (literally and figuratively speaking). This causes some nerve damage and poor blood circulation.
This might be a downer type first entry on a blog, but I actually feel really good putting this in writing. The only bad part is that when I read back over this, I felt very old. Who has these kinds of health issues at my age (don't ask my age, you can do the math)?? I take pretty good care of my self...or do I? I think what I am guilty of is a simple concept, but with a tough follow through factor. I need to take care of my inner self/inner peace. If I'm listening to my body, my heart and my soul then I know when I need to slow down. That's my problem most times...I don't slow down when I should. I rush through everything because I like the feelings it gives me.

Thanks for reading! :)

I really look forward to more posts. Please add comments to any of my blogs. I love to know what people are thinking. It's a weird quality that drives me crazy most times.
Love-T
