I have been having the hardest time this weekend with my balance.

I have almost fallen several times and have the pulled muscles to prove it! If I could just fall without desperately trying not to or to catch ahold of something I would probably be less injured!

I was standing in my closet putting a small box up on the top shelf and I just started falling backwards. There were clothes hangin behind me and also a row of boxes and other stuff so I wouldn't have fallen to the floor....just into whatever was behind me. But I tried to catch myself and have a sore upper back to show for it.

The other time I almost fell was in the living room.....standing on a perfectly flat floor (no carpet). I could feel myself leaning to the right and before I knew it I was tipping right over! I looked like the Flying Nun with both my arms outstretched trying to regain my balance.....weaving all around! I didn't fall but it probably would have hurt less than me contorting myself into all sorts of shapes to keep from going down!

I guess it's just human nature to try and prevent yourself from falling. It's inevitable......I will fall but the question is when and where?
