It’s tendinitis season at work

and I’m full on determined
to not cripple myself
building our calendar this year
cos in the past 3 years
at this time of year
I surely have

remember 2 years ago
when I suggested
that I should likely not
go on holidays
cos my arm was so bad?
and 2 of my friends (Laurie and Bee)
immediately announced that
I should come
and they’d help

little did they know
that they’d spend the next 2 weeks
pulling up my underoos
and pulling down my pink flannel lingeree!

so – I’m all ready for tendinitis season
wrist brace √
arm brace √
anti inflamitories √
freezer pack √
serious lack of sleep from worrying about the amount I’ve gotta do √
buckets of coffee √

see you on the other side!
*I hope*

sometimes we all need a gentle nudge…

to remind us:

“One night along the east coast somewhere, there was an incredible storm…

The storm washed up thousands of starfish onto the beach, where they lay in the morning sun. A young boy was out on the beach. He was furiously flinging starfish into the sea.

A man strolling along saw the boy bustling…

He walked up to the boy and asked him why he was doing it… He told the boy that there must be ten thousand starfish… He said that the boy could do this all day and never make a difference.

The boy looked at the man a little puzzled… He reached down and picked up a starfish and flung it out to sea with all his might…

Then he looked up at the man and said, “I just made a difference in the life of THAT starfish!”
