Yesterday morning I felt slightly less pain in my back and it made such a difference to my energy. Whilst I am nowhere near being able to move like I usually do, it was a relief to see some slight improvements and it inspired me, as is often the case, to sit on our local bench and write.

Incremental

Progress can seem small and slow

but each step we must notice

Step by step is how to go

Each victory, let us toast this

When we’re in pain, the little gains

can make enormous difference

More ease comes when we do not strain

Improvements do not miss them

Be mindful when today you go

Take time to stop and relish

Progress can seem small and slow

but each step let’s cherish
