Kim, beautiful photos and poem. My husband had RA for more than 20 years. So painful and debilitating. I’m glad you’re getting out in nature, even though it’s difficult. Thank you for this.

Oh Kim. I'm glad it was a beautiful day, and glad you're finding ways to get out and enjoy your walks, however compromised they may be for the moment. Thanks for sharing this one with us. You have been through so much. There may be truth in what your massage therapist says, and if that turns out not to be a helpful perspective for you (only you can say), you are free to dismiss it while appreciating her good intentions.

Oh, X.P., I think she's onto something! Spending a good deal of time processing that perspective and how to manage it. I appreciate you, your reading the work, and sharing your kind thoughts. And it's the weekend... YAY!

Oh yes it does resonate, thank you. A nice balance of lovely photos, accessible prose, and just a pinch of being really pissed off — for zest.
