Posture

My mother always told me That my posture needed work. Now, straighten up your shoulders! A reminder I would shirk. I’ve never stood up straight and tall And sometimes I would see On the street, a bent old woman, Which I’d never want to be. A neighbor had that happen – Now she’s twisted like a crone, A terrifying prospect I’m determined to postpone. So I checked it out on Google How to keep my back erect And I purchased their suggestion – Posture straps that will correct. Every day for 30 minutes My contraption stays in place. Though my stance may not improve I will continue, just in case.

Very good idea. I need something about my posture. It's really starting to go south. :) gw

Good luck with that as posture is primarily in your genes, but I do admire Seven-of-Nine's posture, especially when she walks up or down corridors! Enjoyed, Ilene! (note comma everyone)! Aloha!
