Orthotics are working, Enjoying Spring

Time to look for these guys

Good news on walking. I have inserts for my shoes that help my foot not go outward. This helps not to pinch a nerve. I am having another one made with a stronger design to do this. My problems won't go away but less pain is good. I am also working on therapy to strengthen and stretch my foot. Three weeks with better eating and losing weight. My goals are to walk  30 + minutes and move in my day.
Do you have a battle in your life? Yours is probably different from mine. Don't you find long term issues are hard to deal with. We see conflicting articles, we have different things that happen to us that make it harder to deal with. We learn so much and yet that doesn't mean we are free of our fight for some aspect of health. It can be discouraging.
If you have followed my blog, you know I think it is OK to share our pain. But who wants to stay in that moment? Not me! Hey if there is something I can do that relieves my pain, I'm all for it.
One blogger I am following Carolyn Scott Kortge (The Spirited Walker) uses walking as part of her battle with cancer. That is something that touches all of us. In her battle she is living each day enjoying each moment she has. I can do that. I have no idea what I may do about my CP as I age. My hope is I will be walking at 70, 75, 80, 83? The key for me is what am I doing today? Like Jesus said,  "So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself." Matt. 6:34 Our long term problems need to seen in the moment. You bet we need intelligent counsel and a treatment plan. We already know it is not easy.
Consider the blue bird. The male pictured here has a wonderful song. When you see them they are striking. I am looking at the changes of spring that way. Each day the weather may be different but I floored by the flowers, shades of green, blue sky, trees getting their leaves; all of these thing are God's gifts. This week I am planting a tree. As I look out my window I will see its flowers in early spring. Years ahead others will enjoy it. Today I walked and soaked in a spring day. At work I laughed with kids as we worked through their classwork. It was easier laughing because my shoe implant eased my pain. Not bad, keep walking
