I’ve been thinking about the discussion in the meeting around that stubborn inner voice. Mine is Newt. That waif of a child in the Alien movie. Exercise is healthy and beneficial “mostly”. There are a few, precise moments in my past which have narrowed my exercise expectations. More as I get older. Like last evening I went for a walk around the block with my husband. I was fasted so had energy to spare. My knees were good but both hips, one artificial and one arthritic, were speaking quietly. Mostly when I walk there is no problem. But ever so often there is a searing pain and weakness in my hip. I avoid pain. So my Newt reminds me that sometimes avoidance is better than being face to face with the alien.
