I prefer to look at the upside:

I went all of 2013 without a single bike ride that ended with me in the back of an ambulance. That hasn't always been the case for me. Here's hoping 2014 treats me as well. And yes, I find it can be a good thing to walk some segments that virtually everybody else rides through with no difficulty what-so-ever. A bruised ego is easier to live with than a broken hip.

Uh - I also recently allowed my wife call a son to load our old CRT television set into the back of my truck. I would have eventually managed to get it loaded but it was a lot easier to let the son do it.
