Hi, Samuel - too funny, love your Seuss response! Perhaps you've heard that whole book reference way too many times in your life, given what your name is!

Those thorns do keep us humble, that's for sure. Pain and suffering are great equalizers.

I am actually grateful for it most of the time because I've experienced the rewards they leave. I've learned so much and have had my mind and heart opened such a lot through my decades of challenges, my life has been much richer for all of it. Although to be honest, having been down this particular ill health road for years in the past, I really hope I'm not facing the same thing. Praying it's a temporary glitch and I'm okay again soon.

But - whatever lies ahead, I'll deal with it.

The leg and I have a good working relationship and it's doing its best to forgive me for injuring it. We're not quite dancing yet and our Tai Chi practice is a bit flawed, but we're getting there! Thank you, Samuel. I love your message. I appreciate you such a lot. 💜
