@galere Oh my, that is so sad. What exactly is keeping you at home?

My quite young (mid-50's) next door neighbor has recent-onset spastic disorder that makes him appear to be always staggering all the time. He had to retire from coaching/refereeing, but does not let it stop him. He could have chosen to hide in the house, but instead now he gets around with braces, a walker, or canes and is driving a school bus to be around kids. Another friend has chronic, disfiguring lymphedema in her legs - so she wears longer pants, not shorts, does story-telling, volunteers, and swims in our community pool.
These are two of my "quiet heroes."

My wrinkles, crooked hands, chronic bruises, not-so-trim-and-firm body, and other signs of aging don't seem like much compared to that. So I just keep doing what I can.
