Geoff, thank you. You have no idea how much I needed to hear that today. Lately I have to remind myself that things have a way of working out - although it sure doesn't seem so at the time.

I recall a few years ago, when I owned my local newspaper and things were getting tough. I looked up in the sky as I saw a double rainbow. I said to myself that if that rainbow is still there as I came up over the bridge things were going to turn out alright. The rainbow was there, and things did start to improve. Maybe I'm superstitious, maybe it just needed a good kick in the ass to remind me I was capable, and to not be discouraged when times are tough.

You will get through Toni. Let the tough times teach you what they need to and then be done with them

I'm at the other end, when old age creeps in and things don't work anymore. It's kind of the same proposition.

I see. What is still working?

Everything except my legs. They're not holding me up like they used to.
