Ray - hope you went for coffee. I too have come to points where I don't know if I should do this or that. Anyway, I usually give it a try unless I sense danger and when I can do it, I have a great feeling of accomplishment. Ok, I can still do that! Hmmm. So, for me, I'd see that walk as a challenge and usually the end result will justify the effort in several ways.

Reminds me of my running days. The marathons and halfs, 5 & 8 & 10k’s, all grueling, sweating, wondering “why the heck am I doing this again?” moments; until you cross the finish line, and the high you felt for finishing made every drop of sweat worth it 😊

Good morning, Ed (@njed)
I couldn't agree more! It is too easy to say "no" to opportunities to be with friends, all because of a fear of some mishap. Of course, mishaps can happen, but after years of practicing how to manage our various neuropathies, we should have developed a bag of tricks to keep ourselves reasonably safe. I believe I have. It's too easy to become a person who always says "no" to opportunities. I intend to try my darnedest not to become that sort of person.
