I love your attitud e. When you said "I happen to the day. Pain is just another challenge. I also break up the things I like to do into smaller steps. I plan it out. Then I can do it. It may take ten times longer, but I succeed."

My daughter is rehabbing an old house. Unfortunately, she broke her arm badly as soon as she bought it. My husband and I, being "of that age" both have arthritis and other challenges. She desperately wanted a new-to-her light fixture installed in the dining room. She was not allowed on the ladder, my husband was having trouble with his shoulders, and I wasn't strong enough to manage the task alone...so, she stood on the floor handing up tools and parts, he went up one side of the Little Giant ladder to hold the fixture in place, and I went up the other to twist the wires together, put on the wirenuts, attach the fixture to the bracket and the globes to the fixture. When we finished, I said "how many people does it take to replace a light fixture?" and we all had a fit of giggles. But we succeeded!

That's our approach to most tasks.

Keep on moving!
