Hi folks! Checking in and wanting to thank you for your good wishes, unwavering support and encouragement. It really does mean a lot to me to have you in my corner and I want you to know that I'm in your corners too. Although I need to limit my time on Connect and can't comb through tons of conversations and updates, I'd love to know how everyone is doing. If you are interested in dropping me a brief note via my private message, I will look forward to reading and responding in a paced manner.

In response to Hank's curiosities about how I managed the obstacles of Mayo PRC, travel and solo hotel living... it's best to keep it simple and positive, by not drudging up those challenges, with the following 3 answers:

1. MENTAL FORTITUDE
2. FAMILY SUPPORT
3. COMPETENT, WORLD CLASS REHAB PROGRAM

I leave you with a quote from Dolly Parton...
"We cannot direct the wind,
but, we can adjust the sails."

My best to you,
Rachel
