Love


From Brother Karamazov..."If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love."

Walking


It becomes very clear to me that sitting for prolonged periods of time contributes to osteoarthritis. It is my personal experience. Getting up and walking for a few minutes relieves the joint stagnation. For those who works in sitting position the whole day,it's necessary to limber up and exercise your legs and knees probably every half hour.
Walking is the easiest and very practical way of circulating the joint fluids in the knees.

A rose
