My physical therapist gave me new exercises to do this week for my shoulder using what's essentially a length of pvc pipe. I wondered what I'd use at home since I don't have any spare pipes hanging around and then it occurred to me that an empty wrapping paper roll would be a perfect substitute.

And I knew we had one because I saw it in the office while I was cleaning last weekend. I tried it out this afternoon and it worked like a charm.

It's always a blessing when seemingly useless items suddenly become surprisingly useful. It's a nice reminder that even when we feel like we're past our prime, we can still be used to accomplish good things.
