Almost Healed

Next week, I’m hoping the hand specialist gives me the OK to get back to tournament play. It will be six weeks by then. I can’t say it’s been much fun. More like torture.

I have filled my time with putting, chipping, fitness exercises and reading. I’m even thinking about joining yoga classes. With this break, I realize how important it is to relax---take myself down from that revved up competitive feeling. My reading has reminded me that I must take care of my nervous system—not just my mind but the constant stress on my whole body from focusing on goals, practicing and competing. This unwelcome “down time” has helped me relax.

I miss my Canadian Tour buddies. I’m looking forward to hanging out with them soon.
