I got a free massage on a week ski tour in Colorado. She said I had tension in my neck. Got one in China because it was cheap. I thought massages were suppose to feel good. They didn't until afterward. I’ll have to look up triangle & down dog.

What stretches do you do? Triangle pose and down dog are great for shoulders! And back bends too. Do you ever get massages? bikehikebabe,

And good for anybody's shoulders too. The MRI & CS show that surgery won't help. Yoga stretches & muscle strengthening help my shoulders. And good for anybody’s shoulders too.

You see some injuries need other remedies. Bikehikeable,

I did a teacher training in 05 and it was inspired by a injury I have called tennis elbow. I had been to the doctor for the pain and was going to a massage therapist and acupuncturist. The pain pill was taken off the market a couple years later. I quit taking it something didn't feel right about it to me. The pain was better didn't need it but it was still a great bother to me. I started yoga and I got progressively stronger. I watched people heal their injuries that were told they had to live within a modified existence. Not to say some still have to somewhat still... but their quality of life greatly improved. Bikehikebabe,

And I have been missing that part of my life. Though as time is a issue and I am often not home. I have a cat and she is a lover to all of us and so much easier on the time care factor.I spend time thinking of what dog we'll enjoy next when the timing gets right. They just bring so much joy into a families life. Thanks for caring for them. Most of my time is spent on connecting with others right now with the focus on healing.

Recently a woman came to our Rotary meeting to introduce us to some of the greyhounds she rescues from the racetracks. I was not aware of the great abuse this beautiful aninmals suffer just so just a few people can make money. Your kindness is certainly being repaid. About three years ago someone dumped a female cat on our large farm property. The cat had a few litters, but they seemed to disapper. I began to feed her to make sure she had enough food and she lived in the upstairs of our large barn where there was plenty of straw for her to keep warm in winter. Last summer when the whole family visited on the large porch of our home, "Ginger" jumped over the rail and deposited the kitten at the foot of one of my daughther-in-law. I could not believe it because there were a total of nine children, all very active on the porch at that time. She went away and brought two more one at a time. Later the kids begged for the kittens and after much thought she relented and when they grew, they found their new home. In the meantime I had Ginger spayed and she is now a much happier cat. And, my grandchildren are as well to have these pets.
