Being just plain pooped is a good thing..

I was thinking today about how I feel at the end of a hard days work now. How I feel is very different and I needed to really look and feel it and it feels good. I work my ass off at the farmers market and love it (as longs as it's not raining). Yes I am tired, but believe me there is a big big difference in how I feel compared to a year ago. The thing that puts a smile on my face and is very freeing is the fact that I now do way more physical work in 2 days than I did in several days at my prior job...and I don't have to take pain medicine to get through my day or the rest of my day like I was doing year plus ago. That's freeing... to feel good enough to work hard and not be exhausted and in pain like I was feeling more and more as I aged. I am just plain tired now from a hard days work, not exhausted and most of all not in pain. I used to be very tired, I limped, which made me hurt and some times I was in tears from my job and pain because it was to physical some days for me being so heavy. Not even my hip is really bothering me these days. I can certainly tell that physical therapy is helping my body and hip. I am still limited in flexibility and movement in the hip area but not in pain anymore.

FREEDOM...
