What If...

Do you ever think about what you would do if things were a little bit different?  If you had more money, if you had more time off, if you were in better health, if... whatever the "if" is for you.

I was thinking about this recently, and if I had my complete physical abilities I would do so many things.

I would want to learn to ski, to try scuba diving, to learn to surf, and to travel more (possibly by myself just because I could). I would want to learn to play tennis and maybe even golf. I  could live in a two story house, move back to New England to be near my family, and maybe I would even change career paths.  I've always wanted to do something that helps others and am fascinated by alternative medicine.  

I would obviously need money and time off to do many of these things, but I believe that I could find a way to make that happen.  If I had my complete physical strength my life would be different.  Not completely different, but different none the less. 

What is your "if"? 

Legs

Legs. I always check out people's legs.  That might seem weird... but hear me out.  We notice things on other people that we like and wish we had for ourselves. 

While I was flying home for Christmas, I couldn't help but notice people's legs.  Walking off of the jet-way, walking through the airport- how nice it must be to walk confidently, quickly, on strong, sturdy legs. How nice it must be to walk without fear that your legs will give out, that you might slip on the floor, or someone will run into you and knock you slightly off balance, just enough that you fall over.

I bet people don't even think twice about their awesome legs that get them from place to place efficiently and without difficulty. I do wish I had better legs.  Don't get me wrong, I am so grateful that my legs can still do what they can do, but of course I wish they could do more. It seems like all legs should be created equal, they should be able to do the same things... what should be simple things. 

Oh, legs.
