A new life is possible.
My wife has mentioned on several occasions that the neighbors living behind us have a clear view through the glass door into our family room. She has suggested planting some trees as a screen. Today I was at home depot I spotted six nice evergreens that would do the job. Each is about four feet tall. So I bought them around noon.. loaded them into my SUV.. got them home by one pm.. and had them all planted by two pm.
Even early last year, such a feat would not have been possible for me. I was too heavy for any kind of physical activity. And I must admit, going to the gym recently and starting to work on my upper body strength (as suggested by my doctor) seems to have helped immensely. My shoulders and arms didn't grow tired during the job. So other than a little dirt on my hands, I got the job done.
P.S.
About an hour later, I loaded the bicycles on the bike rack and my wife an I rode 22 miles. And it was a beautiful sunny day.
Life isn't perfect.. but it seems pretty close to perfect.
Bonus: No spelling mistakes according to spell check!

I so understand. I find myself keeping busy with little tasks around my house until bedtime. A little over a year ago, I would go home and sit on the couch till I crashed at 8:30 since I had no energy. Life is truly amazing now!
