Ache of the Day Club

 I have been writing as part of Ethical ELA this month.  Today's prompt asked us to write about the minor aches and pains, rather than the big ones, that are part of each of our lives.  So today, I write about the Ache of the Day Club giving credit to Vinny, who coined the term at early morning aquacise! 

I know you are coming,

Brace myself,

Down the stairs gingerly,

I know I will feel you,

Today in the elbow, first time,

What did I do to deserve this one? 

You were in the right knee yesterday

Did I walk too much?

In the arch of my foot before that,

Those new shoes too tight?

You were there 

As I rose my arms last week

Too much swimming?

Yet that too moved south

To the lower back where I

Slept too hard, too long?

You are around

At times in my heart

Where the aches, pains, concerns,

Sometimes enormous,

Of friends and family

Overwhelm the every-day,

Results of time and usage,

Thanks to you,

I am a member of the

Ache of the Day Club.
