Oh So RIGHT!!

A group of us are finishing up five days of meeting and brainstorming and planning our projects future.

A bunch of PWPs who may have to crawl on the floor from time to time...may have to getting into a very weird position on the floor to unlock dystonic shoulders in the early morning...may have to take extreme care to manage going up and down stairs, etc...BUT...in doing so we were also working through this processes of planning and brainstorming, and hanging stickie sheets on the wall, we prove indirectly that continuing to find ways to use the mind keeps our PWP minds sharp.

Exercising physically or mentally if sooooo important.
Personally, I haven't exersiced physically in a few months, but I do exercise my mind. SHAME on me

There are many PWPs who have found "hobbies" to take up after quitting "office" work. The creativity "catalog" prepared as a result of the art contributed for display during the 2006 WPC is a prime example of this.

It is filled with intricate wooden pens made with tremored hands...video and photography prepared by dystonia and tremored hands, some award winning...website development by people who never considered such work would be in their life...new poets...etc etc.

So, it is not just "get up and move" the body, but git up and move the mind

I will leave it at that and get on to my 3 hour drive home...yikes...
