Yeah, I try to catch things before they get too far gone. The book of gratefulness poetry was a gift to my wife on her birthday, but it's just as much for me. Of course, my therapist is always telling me to exercise more. As a kid (in secondary school) I raced bicycles and would often go for training rides of more than 50 miles, so I have a pretty high standard for physical activity. I'm trying to get myself back to a point where I can do that. It's tougher to do coming home from work, but it is in my arsenal of coping strategies.
