@loribmt Lori, you are such a shining success as a mentor for this wonderful Mayo Connect group! We all thank you! This group feels like part of my extended family! I'm alone, but I'm never alone. I'm blessed with my loving and supportive family, although they are a big distance away. My family of 3 sons, 4 adult grandchildren, and 4 younger great-grandchildren! I'm like you, Lori. Every day is a gift. "The heart springs eternal within the human breast".
Merry Christmas to all! Ever Hopeful, Laurie

Merry Christmas to all my unseen friends at Mayo Connect!
I just received a post from mentor @naturegirl (?) Did I get that right? I hope so. And thank you so much for sharing it again!
I’ve just re-read that post of 2021 that I had written to volunteer mentor @loribmt at a time when I was battling Giant Cell Arteritis. I can attest to the fact that @loribmt is still a tower of strength for all of us lucky enough to be in contact with her online at Mayo Connect! The thoughts are still so relevant and I mean every word of it! However, I do need to make one important change to a quote that I had MISquoted and which jumped out at me today when I read it. It should read: “HOPE springs eternal within the human breast”, attributed to 18th century poet Alexander Pope.
My very best and warmest wishes to all for a happy and healthy 2026!
P.S. I won my battle against GCA and am 90 years young now, so never give up hope, good people!
You’ve got this!!!
Forever Hopeful,
Laurie

@artist01 I'm reminding @loribmt of this thank you from 2021.
