Crutches

We got to play with crutches today. The shortest and the tallest were called upon to do the honors. I stood up immediately, rhetorically asking if anyone else is less than 5 feet tall :). Of the 270+ students in my class, I am probably the 2nd or 3rd shortest. Of course, the others had to look around first and had a harder time figuring out amongst themselves who is the tallest. Maybe tall people don't really size each other up that much. If someone is shorter than me, I definitely notice :).

It took me a while to figure out how to work the crutches. As you know my motor coordination leaves a lot to be desired :) I've never had to get crutches before. It is actually hard work not to have perfectly functioning legs. So as I walked afterwards I had greater appreciation of my legs.

Which reminds me, I want to share that I have theme songs whenever I walk :).

Walking out of the house- pretty woman walking down the street..

If it's really nice and sunny- i see skies of blue and clouds of white, the bright blessed day.... what a wonderful world; or i'm walking on sunshine...

If it's raining- i'll never let you see, the way my broken heart is hurtin' me, i've got my pride and i know how to hide all my sorrows and pain, i'll do my crying in the rain..

If I'm wearing boots- these boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do, one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.

When walking a lot- i would walk 500 miles and i would walk 500 more...

When there's pretty snow- walking in the winter wonderland..
