Part of it is taking a little extra care going up and down stairs (or dealing with ice!) Part of it is looking at the stress of work and thinking: How important will this be in 5 years? (The other part is that when I'm feeling whiney about my job, which really isn't a whole lot of fun, I remind myself that it's a good thing that I have one). It's about balance and degree and being able to shrug some things off. And to realize that in a blink of an eye, it can all change. <BR/><BR/>Still looking forward to an opportunity to meet for coffee! :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31107400.post-82800395203397108562009-02-17T15:12:00.000-08:002009-02-17T15:12:00.000-08:00I don't know why I waited so long, but now that my...I don't know why I waited so long, but now that my anonymous stalkerdom is busted, probably I'll comment more often and move to into known annoyer!<BR/><BR/>I do enjoy reading your exploits.susandennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973943986986943853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31107400.post-37542076191673099302009-02-17T14:50:00.000-08:002009-02-17T14:50:00.000-08:00Hi Susan!

You have been on the READ ME FIRST list in my Google Reader for a very long time. And now I have to come out of hiding to explain that every entry you've made since January 5, has given me startling perspective. Not only the kind that you have - many people have it so much worse than I ever will - but also... thankgod my ankle/leg/rest of me is fine. I cannot tell you how many times I have started to get whiny, irritated, annoyed at something or other and thought, well, at least I can reach down and scratch my calf. I can pee on my own. I can drop everything and make a Costco run if I feel like it. I am 60 and know that the falling years are looming so I'm taking your experience to heart big time. Thanks so much for sharing all the details. Know that they have been used wisely.<BR/><BR/>Your stalker, Susansusandennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973943986986943853noreply@blogger.com
