zippin'

zakk walked in with a 'how you doing, mom?'

'happy!' i answered.

'happy, happy, happy!'

he grinned and asked how come.

'don't know, just am.'

and then as i zipped around a bit, i realized
i was zipping around a bit.

i'm zipping around!!!

i haven't zipped in a week.

for days and days and days i couldn't even
stand up straight.

and right then, i was zippin.

granted, it was slower speed zippin' than my
normal zippin. but still....there was zip involved.

ohmygosh.....did i appreciate movement.
did i appreciate standing up straight.

i tidied up a bit like i hadn't in a week.
wow.

even tidying felt glorious.

amazing how if you take away some of your good
health, it changes everything.

i thought of people with chronic pain.
and i soooo sympathized.
and i soooooo rejoiced in the zip i felt comin'
back.

just in time too.
we're finally celebratin' josh's birthday today.
and i'll need some zip.

thing is....i'm so excited about my zip, that the
guys are gonna wish i still couldn't stand up
straight....just to slow me down a bit!

watch out friday.....here i come.....
