Stop Yer Whinin'

Tuesday was a good reality check day for me. I wasn’t really down that day but I also wasn’t at my best.
And then:
At therapy I met a 70-year-old man, and when I complimented him on his hard work he proceeded to tell me about his lower back surgery. And his upper back surgery. And his fight with liver cancer. And yet he was there so he could keep moving and improve his strength.
My cousin was visiting me and reminded me of the car accident his son was in where he broke his first rib, severed his femur, and had his spleen removed. And yet, today you wouldn’t know any of that if you met him.
A friend of mine called to tell me he was diagnosed with cancer.
It was like the universe was telling me to stop whining, keep working, and count my blessings.
So I did.
Keep up the amazing ‘tude, Lee!! We think of you daily as we rock in the chair you made…and I’m sure you’ll be making more in the future!
As they say in our religion, we make plans and God laughs. Keep up your spirits and know that we are all pulling for you. I am more and more impressed every time I read one of your blogs.
As my mother always said, "but for the grace of God go I". It's certainly understandable to feel down sometimes but you were very lucky and I admire your strength! Keep up the good work!
Gratitude.. it's a positive motivator!
Keep pluggin' away, Lee😜
Oh! It worked!!!
