Ray,
I really needed to hear this today! I have been headed towards gathering together a huge list of what I can't do- like waking, gardening, shopping, housework- lumping together huge categories, when, in fact, I CAN: cook, sweep small areas, blow the leaves off the driveway, push a shopping cart, dust and polish furniture, read, sew, write, teach, drive, water the garden, cut flowers- in fact a host of useful and life affirming activities- I have a wonderful husband, loving siblings with whom I speak daily, supportive friends, great neighbours, a part-time job, two beautiful sons and four loving grandchildren! Who am I to complain about wonky balance and lack of stamina!
"Accent the positive, eliminate the negative!!"
Thank you, Alexis

Good morning, Alexis

I'm with you! As I study myself––which I may do far too much of ––I come to understand how is easier to be pestered by the problems, like the things I am now having more difficulty doing––than it is to remember all the things I'm still able to do. I believe that's because, at least for me, the things I can still do have become like white noise, simply because I do them and I continue to do them; the many things I can still do don't call attention to themselves, It's up to us, then, to give them attention,

Have a wonderful weekend!
Ray
