HEAVY THINGS

THINGS THAT ARE HEAVY WHEN HANDS ARE SORE:
Bed pillows
Soft throws
Lightweight quilts
Pan lids
Full glass mugs
More than one dinner plate
Drapes that need to be opened
Full jars
A coat
A full teapot
A car door
A little bag of garbage
My hairdryer
My burden, when that's what I focus on

THINGS THAT ARE CHALLENGING WHEN HANDS ARE TENDER AND SHOULDERS ARE SORE:
Opening round door knobs
Steering a car
Buckling seat-belts
Opening new lids, small or large (so thankful for rubber grippers and kitchen hammers) Opening lids someone with a normal grip has tightened
Zip lock bags
Putting on socks
Any form-fitting shirt I used to wear 6 months ago
Pain, when my eyes stop there
