Hi @kimspr3 -- Here is the website for Dr. Amit Sood - The Resilient Option - https://www.resilientoption.com/

Yesterday I had the opportunity to watch my daughter compete in a crossfit competition where her and two other ladies represented their crossfit gym . It was a hour and half drive both ways and a couple of hours sitting but dad enjoyed every minute of it. Amazed me how strong the ladies are. Now I just have to find a heavy lifting project and invite her and her teammates over for lunch and a workout ☺ There is a lot of truth in the phrase girl power.

I think it's hard for most of us to lose a pet. Two years ago I had to take my daughters cat to be put to sleep that she left with us when she moved away from home. She was quite old and in so much pain you couldn't pick her up with her crying. Now the cat that I adopted when stopping to fix a computer at the local vet hospital is getting close to the end. She's about 13 years old and would sit on my shoulder as a kitten and watch me work on the computer.

Hope all my cyber friends have a pain free day...

Oh my goodness John @johnbishop. I am so sorry about your kitties. I can just see one lying on your shoulder. My biggest struggle right now is the grieving for my precious Roxie. I think that it weighs heavily because I have made the decision to never have another love sponge, aka, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I do not want to deny my pet a fully functioning owner or to leave before her. I catch my self going to the Castlemar Cavalier website or watching the Toronto Cavalier meet up. Meditation does help. I also have a shrine with a painting of her. When I wake up I listen for her breathing or wait for her to come in the dog door and jump up to say good morning. Then it hits. She is gone. What treasures pets are for us to love. Chris

Hi again and thank you for sending the information. Your cat's markings are like a work of art, I have never seen before!! Amazing! Have you ever been told that before? I know she feels your love and compassion. Letting go is so hard. I couldn't stay at our friends home last night. I could not get comfortable. Their Akita is not doing well, breaking my heart. Right now one of my dogs is sleeping close to me, one of my cats by my feet on my bed.

Your daughter and teammates WOW how proud are you, SMILE. I hope you can find a way to have the team over, bet you would have a good time! What is "crossfit"

John, I'm wishing you pain free day!
