I am not a fanatic about it though. I do just about anything occasionally and have a relationship with this body that wants the feeling of a clean engine, in tune, running smoothly. The four years before the accident that left my body paralyzed, I did yoga on a daily basis. Good physical fitness and good eating habits, it is these two aspects that I attribute to how well my body got through two major operations, six and twelve hours long. My mind is even more shaky than usual.
Depression looms just under the surface.
I watch myself get low-down. I am very fortunate to live near the ocean. For the fifteen months this body that I have been using for the trip on earth has been getting into the ocean four days a week for forty minute swims. The ocean is The Great Healer. I am very thankful living so close to this friend.
