"Looking forward." Has PN taken that away from me, too?

@ray666 ~
Oh, Ray, you've got that right. I hope you do take up that acting identity again. It would help others to see with their own eyes that physical limitations can't make you leave it until you're ready to let it go. I think acting is in your bones, like it is for my son-in-law who was able to utilize his talent at Second City in Chicago for season of his life. He's still so expressive, and for those of us who aren't, it is SO fun to observe! Sure, your parts may be shortened but you will look forward to that (both the acting and the shortness!) Just stay off ladders!
Blessings, Barb

Hi, Barb (@bjk3)
I may or may not take up acting again. If I do, it'll be great, If I don't, that'll be great, too, or I'll do whatever is needed to make a "new life" (life without acting) great just as well. In a way, that's something that PN has taught me: Be ever-ready to adjust to ever-changing circumstances. Someone once told me beware of identity addiction. Be ready to slip and slide in order to make the most of how things must be; if I don't, if I resist with all my might, wanting to make things the way they once were when some things, like PN for instance, is incurable) I'm only dooming myself to a string of unhappy days.
I say all that and I'm still actor-enough to be ridiculously jealousy of your son-in-law and Second City! LOL Good for him!
Don't worry, Barb, I'll give all ladders a wide berth: no climbing 'em, no walking under 'em!
Cheers!
