I enjoy spending time outdoors and gardening. It is part of what makes me who I am. What would happen if I had an accident or developed a medical condition that kept me out of the yard? Would it change who I am as a person? This happens to Americans every day.
The simple, everyday things we do define who we are and impact the quality of the lives we lead. When we can’t take care of ourselves or we can’t do the things that bring us pleasure, life just doesn’t seem as good. If a person grows older or experiences a medical crisis and they can’t engage in their hobbies – does that change who they are as a person? It can.
I’ve got news! It doesn’t have to though. There are so many ways of doing things and pieces of equipment that can help us compensate and allow us to keep on doing what is important to us.
For instance, if I had arthritis and enjoyed gardening it could be harmful to the joints of my wrist and hand to use a regular hand rake and would probably be painful as well. Just changing to a rake with an angled handled protects my joints and will reduce the likelihood of pain. The important thing is that I could keep on gardening!
Here’s the point. Don’t give up on doing the things that are important to you. Find the different technique or different tool that will allow you to continue taking care of yourself, working, or engaging in the hobbies that bring you pleasure. They are out there.
