With every new morning...

I am grateful for waking up...   and, while that may seem like a silly feeling to have, it  is nonetheless a powerful function of my waking up routine.

At 72, I am having to deal with the following health issues:

1. Lymphoma Cancer
2. Melanoma Cancer
3. Squamous Cell Cancer
4. Heart Issues
5. Thyroid Issues
6. Lower Back Issues
7. Prostate Issues
8. IBS Issues
9. Acid reflux
10. Arthritis
11. Fatigue
12. Nausea
13. Weight
14. Eyes

Many of these issues are simply what happens to older people as a natural part of aging but they are nonetheless an irritation when coupled with some of my other issues.  I am the only member of my immediate family that is experiencing these issues so I hope they appreciate how lucky they are...

I remember my brother every time I talk about LUCK because his famous quote is LUCK FAVORS THE PREPARED...
