Thanks, Leigh. Your thoughts reflect my own concerns, and in my 88th year, recovering from a bad accident, I am a little frustrated that I can't get out and do more. I love that you're doing these articles. Important!

Thank you Chris! It is so tough to downshift gears from the pace you’re used to living, out in the world, as you recover from your accident. Even still, I know your heart is to love your neighbors well… you’ve shown me that firsthand so many years ago ❤️ Keep hope alive, and I’m honored that you landed here to read some of my words!

Leigh, you have a real gift for writing and I'm appreciating every one of your articles. I hope you continue to grace us with them. Thanks, too, for your kind thoughts -- you are so right that the downshift has been challenging! And more bumps along the way from the other "normal" problems of aging. So it seems that it's one step forward and two steps back. But we're full of hope and determination. I can't believe that your girls are growing up so fast. Does it take your breath away sometimes? I'm guessing it does. Seems the two times when life moves along at a fast pace is when your children are growing up and when you reach old age. Funny contrasts abound in this crazy life! Much love to you and JJ and your sweet family!!
