Do I have to shovel again this week? I have gotten used to Colorado's weekly snowstorm in winter, but two in a week, ugh. This year, my 80th, I am finding it more difficult to shovel my walk and driveway. Now it takes two or more times to get it done. Shovel a while; rest; shovel a while; rest …
I have always thought if I can stand up and walk across the room, I can do anything. Well, shoveling is showing me up and offering another reality check that comes with aging. Today, as I was gathering determination to pick up the snow shovel, I looked out and there was my neighbor Mike working away clearing my walk and driveway. Wonderful, caring, helpful neighbors - a new reality. I am grateful. Thank you, Mike.
