in reply to @annewoodmayo Thanks for the note. I am not sure what my neighbor thinks anymore. When she called about the sign I did ask if she knew what it meant, and she applied in the affirmative. When I asked her "why don't you want to seize the day" she replied that that was"my stuff, not hers." I suspect that her problem lies within herself. I do not look like the epitome of good health, but I am as active as possible. Building things, gardening, painting, etc. She sits alone in her apartment all day long looking online for whatever diagnosis she can find to explain her problems, which are many. I sympathize with her only because I think her situation is a sad one at best. I mentioned that last summer I told her that if she kept telling herself that she could not walk, she would not. Consciousness manifests, dominant thoughts prevail, is my mantra, and the last time I said this to her, she kicked me out of her apartment. Prior to this, we were friends. She monitors all of my actions. Just this morning while I was outside pressing some plants from my garden, I said aloud, " I am so tired of all of these iatrogenic problems, that I might just give up." Then I said, "no, I will make another sign, "Habet spem." Now, I know she does not know Latin, and just because I feel the way I do today, I just might set that sign on top of the fence and see what happens.
