Things That are Vastly Under-Appreciated

Eating without heartburn.

 

Being able to sit without pain.

 

Being able to stand without pain.

 

Being able to move from one of those to the other without having a planning session first!

 

Being able to look down and see your entire body.

 

Being able to wash dishes without standing sideways at the sink.

 

Being able to bend down and pick something up, without giving it a second thought.

 

Being able to carry anything heavier than a coffee cup.

 

Coffee.

 

Sleeping in whatever position you want, not just whatever position your body will go into.

 

Going to bed because you are getting tired, or because of the time, not because you can't stay upright any more.

 

Fitting behind the steering wheel of your car.

*I left out several bathroom-related thoughts. You are welcome.

 



Thoughts on Baby-to-Be

I am three weeks pregnant. Getting into the van, C. surveys me and says, "Mom, I think you are getting fat."

S: (with no hesitation) "How to be a turd!"
