It’s interesting to watch who shakes and when and why. When playing starts getting a bit intense I’m always pleased to see someone break off and have a good shake 🙂

Now knowing where I am going to end up or doing what – really need to start living in the moment!

Fake smiles and shaking it is – well I’ve tried everything else!!

I only notice Sage shaking when she’s wet (which is often), but now I’m going to pay closer attention to other shakes.

I guess that is a literal human version of shaking it off.

When the boys got hit with a pitch, the teammates would always yell “Don’t rub it!” or “Wear it!” which meant when you get hit, stand up and take it. Well, not that I necessarily agree with that because I don’t like to see anyone get hurt, but metaphorically, when life knocks you down, “Don’t rub it!” and just wallow in the hurt, but step up to the plate and do something about it.

You’ll feel better quickly.” And it worked every time! But when Mom passed away and I didn’t have her to remind me, I forgot about it until just now when I read your post. I have to print it out and put it somewhere to remind myself again! Thanks for the reminders — both to shake it off, and of my Mom’s sage advice!!
