Colleen, Thanks for mentioning me.
Hugh, patience is important but as my mother taught me, patience is a dependent character trait. It is only valuable when combined with other traits. Patience alone...worthless. She would counsel to be patient and focused on a goal. Patient and determined when you fall short or back from your goal. Patient and loving toward yourself because you cannot love others unless you love yourself.

For me I had a physical goal of playing basketball. So I organized a league of old men. We vary our name and associated T-shirts between Old Men's Basketball League, Ancient Athletes Association, and Glory Days Relived.

Covid got in the way, new hips courtesy of tacrolimus got in the way, strained achilles got in the way, and now post-terior tibular tendonitis. But with focus, determination and patience all barriers were overcome.

You can do this.
Best always,
s!
