It’s Been a Week of Ups and Downs

From time to time we all have ups and downs and it’s been that kind of week for me.

It started of great with the Birthday card classes and having wonderful ladies craft their hearts out.  But it went downhill from there.  I did something to my back and spent 3 days in bed, feeling sorry for my self and in a great deal of pain.

On Monday, it was off to see Dr. Rob at the Inspire Chiropractic and Wellness Studio and with his help I am back on track.  Thank goodness.

Check out their website and if you ever need a great place to get healthy and back on track, this is the place to go.  Both Dr. Rob and Dr. Lisa really care about their clients and the staff, Hannah, Marissa and Angela always have a smile for you and warm words.  It’s a wonderful place with a feeling of family.
