Oct. 27 - Kind Body

Day 299 of a year of kindness

I went to physical therapy today - even though I didn’t want to go. I rarely do. It’s like paying to be tortured.But it’s kind to my ankle. It’s kind to my progress and it’s kind to my life in the future.Sometimes the kindest thing you can do for yourself hurts in the short-term but matters deeply in the long run. It’s like going to the dentist or getting a colonoscopy. It’s never fun but it’s so important.

So, I dragged myself to my 13th appointment, took a deep breath, and walked through the doors of pain and into a waiting room decorated with ghosts and witches.
