Day 49 - Ouch!

I noticed today a pain in my back as soon as I picked up 20 lbs of kitty litter.  Guess I used my back and not my legs. Live and learn.

lie on your back, and slowly, slowly, with your legs together, draw your knees up to your chest, so you resemble a snail. stay that way for a full minute.
Really helps to stretch your back out that way.

Then try getting on your hands and knees, and slowly do the 'cat arch' thing, first with your back rounded, and then with it arched. Try it a half-dozen times, very slowly.

Again, helps to stretch the spine out.

Romeo & Juliet, continued ...

"Marriage is not a noun; it's a verb. It isn't something you get. It's something you do. It's the way you love your partner every day." Barbara De Angelis I'm not sure where to start so I'll just jump right in. Romeo and Juliet got married yesterday. For those of you who have been following the story you might ask, well why didn't you do that a long time ago. The only answer I can give is that either by Divine orchestration or blind luck, things finally fell into place. Getting married - in the eyes of God - was the right thing to do.
