Sunny side up

A year or so ago a friend gave me a book filled with jokes about the season of life that I’m enjoying now. I enjoy reading the humorous quotes that give a perfect description of life as I live it. A favorite says, “I don’t mind getting older, but my body is having a hissy fit!”

The very day I read that, I carried a heavier than usual bag of garbage out to the trash can. I lifted the big bag up to toss it in the can and I felt a familiar, sudden flash of pain as I heaved the heavy bag upward. I knew I had most likely made my sciatic nerve decide to have a hissy fit. I made it back inside just fine and for the next two hours all was well.
