Is Your Neck "Squishy"?

You see, I wear all of my
stress in my neck.

Last week was a
particularly
stressful week.

Now, it was Monday.
Easter was past.
We had returned from Longwood
Gardens and a very nice meal at
Applebees just an hour or so before.

I was in the hammock.
Warren in the lawn chair beside me.
We were chatting away....

Chelsea joined us to attempt to
stir us into going and doing something.
After all we had been home a whole hour
without a plan for the next hour!

It was so very pleasant right where we
were and neither Warren or I felt the need
to invent a new activity to make the day more
enjoyable. Sometimes just sitting is good.

Warren decided to take this time to make
an example of what not to do by using me.

He informed Chelsea that Mommy doesn't know
how to relax and is trying to learn so that
she can not have a stiff neck. You see, he
pointed out, Chelsea did not want to grow
up to have all of the health issues and pain
that her "poor mother" deals with.

Ha!

Well, didn't that little stinker put her hand
up to her neck and say,

"My neck is Squishy.
I am not stressed!
Feel it!"

She thought this would get us to move.
To go somewhere....anywhere!
She was wrong.
All we could do was laugh!
And laugh some more.


So...my question to you is,
How is your neck?

Is it squishy like Chelsea?

Or is it tight like her non-relaxed,
over achieving, unhealthy mother?

Good Grief!

With help like that I may never relax!

Too funny!

My family....perhaps there is
another explanation for
the stiff neck...
really.
