Hi, those stiff mornings are not fun! but, the best thing I did 2.5 yrs ago was get a dog.....yep, great friend, AND HE KEEPS ME MOVING! by 7:00 a.m. or 7:30 a.m. we are out.....sometimes feeling good, sometimes not, but WE ARE WALKING, MOVING! IT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD. If you are at all able to accommodate a pet....do it....any kind will require some care, i.e.: movement. I find I feel better much more quickly if I get moving as soon as possible. (Don't worry what you look like on the street....I felt self-conscious some days until I came across a young man I had not seen in 3-4 months. He was dragging a leg in a brace and had one arm hanging lifeless at his side.....but he was walking his two dogs! The story is, he had a seizure and was rushed to the hosp only to find out he had a malignant brain tumor. He is struggling to keep moving!) SO CAN WE!!! Good luck!
