That was a big one. Let me start by saying that I'm also having a breathless day and hoping I can get that blood pressure back up because I intend to drag my bones to a friend's place to enjoy my craft in his presence and learn from him. I am not feeling it today, but I'm going to go in faith. Regarding grieving loss, there have been a number of times in my life where I've been quite unwell and then thanks to the help of experts diligence in my part and patience in waiting on God, I recover a lot of function and wellness. After about 5 to 7 years of feeling like a constant downtrend, and now feeling like we're actually starting to get somewhere, I'm not sure how to feel. It feels like the end of 200 hours of playing The Witcher 3, where all the storyline is done and all the new dialogue is over and the place feels empty. Now that I feel like maybe I've gotten to where I wanted to go on my pain journey and have more function left to live my life I'm not sure what to do. I guess the answer is to live the life I've missed as sorted out with a wise friend last evening on the phone. After such a long time of thinking things would not get better, I feel like I was grieving what I believe to be a permanent loss, and now that it doesn't seem to be I need to refocus my thinking, be grateful and do as much as I can while I am well. Now, what I feel like I am grieving, is the loss of so many good things. It's pure nostalgia, but stoned Wheat Thins have been discontinued, so many other things that we enjoyed are not there anymore. But that's unimportant. What I am grieving is truth, honor and an unspoken trust that I feel like we used to have in this society, even leaving doors and vehicles unlocked without a second thought.

My story resonates with you. The past five or so years were a downward trend for my health. I had given up on working or any retirement plan. Then this summer meeting with some experts who said I shouldn't have to worry about it In the near future And go live my best life. So that's what I'm doing. Funny what that adjustment has done for me.

@thefieldpastor I do not care for how fickle I can be from one day to the next when each day can such an unexpected good or bad day. But, at the moment, I'm positive about things and hope my efforts continue to benefit my wellness. Realistic attitude and hope are significant factors, as you said.
