Have you ever gotten a full night's sleep and then been ready to go right back to sleep for a nap? If you have, you are not alone. No matter how well we manage to sleep with our chronic pain, it is not as restful as it should be.

Do you take naps during the day, or does it affect your nighttime sleep?
Do you wake up for the day and then fall back asleep?
~Mary-Anne

P.S. I try hard to avoid naps, but they sneak up on me, and more than once I've woken up for the day and fallen back asleep.

We spend decades working toward retirement.
We save money.
We plan trips.
We dream about having more time.

But almost nobody plans for the body they'll need to enjoy that time
What's the point of finally having the freedom to travel if walking through an airport becomes exhausting?
What's the point of having time for your grandchildren if getting down on the floor with them feels impossible?
What's the point of having a beautiful retirement if your world slowly becomes smaller because your body can no longer keep up?

Retirement should mean freedom from work not freedom from movement.
Do whatever keeps your body participating in your life.

Because movement isn't something you retire from.
It's something you need more of when you finally have the time to live.

Don't spend your working years building a retirement you are too weak to enjoy.
Build the strength now for the life you keep telling yourself you'll live someday.

Never retire from movement.
Your future self is counting on the body you build today.
