As I fought each little battle. More and more my willpower began to shine. It took so much effort most days just to stand up and walk to kitchen for a glass of water. But you see, I have this boat that I must prepare for and get back to. But not just that. I need to be clear minded and strong enough to take care of it or it is hopeless. I started by walking to get mail every day. 1 mile each way. For several times I would get there and did not think I could make it back. But with no place to sit along the way I had to force myself.

 After a time I was walking up and down the streets. and as Thompson Falls is built on the side of the mountain overlooking the river. It really was up and down.  After a time I tried yoga. After a month the instructor told me one day after class that I was doing better but in the beginning it was bothersome to see how much I hurt to move.

  Shortly after that I joined bear muscle fitness. The local gym.
