Unloading myself

My back, shoulders and neck feel like I’ve been pulling a yoke with a huge load–like I’m an old yak in the mountains trudging a rocky circular path over and over again.  How can I drop this weight and release the muscle tension?!

Over and over again I hand it over and over again.  Here–you take this!  My little human body just can carry this load.  But it returns to me like a paddle board ball, hits me in the face when I’m not paying attention.  I need to slam it back out there and play the game–the object is NOT to hold onto the ball but slam it back.

I need to get better and better at ping pong.  That’s what today will be about–laughing as I play the game, testing new swings, bouncing on my fight lightly, serving it just right.  And as I can, I will step back and let the Divine Gamester take over for me and all I’ll do is watch the game.

She’s a pro, after all.
