[Man From Ironbark]

Thanks Rich.

Hi MFI – I hope you're doing well.

A year or so ago I reached the point in the aging process (that many of us have experienced or will experience): upon waking each morning a different body part would act up. It has become an interesting guessing game which part that will be, and rather entertaining to see what the day presents. I suppose this falls under the optimistic philosophies of “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” or “The glass is half full, not half empty.”

Gotta stay positive.

I am a walking miracle. Considered a degenerate by the medical fraternity it is a miracle that I can walk at all. I have to keep singing that song, 'Hold your head up'. It isn't so easy having osteporosis as well. Broke a rib last week simply by leaning over the edge of something.

Walking and breathing are two things I do every day and I consider myself in luck with every breath and every step.
