It's the Claaaaahmb

Since all the grandkids have departed I've really come to miss them. I do enjoy having my house back but it sure was great when they were here. One of the songs they repeatedly asked me to play was the CD of Miley Cyrus and her new hit song "The Climb". I'd hear the tiny pre-teen voices raise when Miley sung the chorus "it's not the mountain, it's the climb" but of course the kids sang "it's the claaaaaahmb".
Never really paid much attention to the song while they were here - just enjoyed them enjoying the song. But when it came on the radio this morning I listened to the words, and they were very powerful. "there's always gonna be another mountain/I'm always gonna want to make it move/there will always be an uphill battle/something that I have to prove". And then of course, the chorus. It's a good song. I think this will be my theme song as I train Moto.
I've been suffering terrible pain in my legs. I cannot stand for long without paying for it. I do believe these are the last vestiges of my car accident. I was telling my chiropractor it seems I've been literally healing from head to toe. Began with my neck, worked down to my broken clavicle, them my cracked ribs, then my twisted sacrum, and now it's my legs. Unfortunately the legs have been the longest and for me the most frustrating part of the healing process. The pain is constant and I've been fighting a nasty case of depression this past week. I realize at this point in my life I will not be able to get up, run 2 miles on the treadmill, go out in the garden and work, train the dogs, and then go to work. If I want to survive the day I'm lucky to train the dogs and get ready for work. Perhaps this backsliding is because of all the family here for so many weeks. Whatever the reason, getting on with my life is a frustrating and disappointing process.
But! I did go back to group obedience class today. I was delighted that Moto did his pivot drills nicely. When group heeling came we did a bit inside the circle, then we did some work off by ourselves, learning for him to keep his head up when we came to a baby gate. I was surprised to see his fronts from a recall seem to be very straight. However he has butt-out finishes *sigh* it's always something. Dumbbell retrieves were great. So, after three months off it was a very nice re-start. Tomorrow Moto and Shiloh start their agility classes again. I hope this is something I can attend weekly but that's not a done deal at this point in the game.
