When I went through a shoulder spasm or when I hurt my knee and limped for two years, it took distracting myself to learn to cope. I had to focus on what was left that my body *could* do, even though it wouldn’t do what I wanted (hence, frustration). Sometimes that meant crafts instead of dance, or teaching from a chair rather than by dancing.

How did you move today? How will you move tomorrow?
