Way to Go Hill Slug!!
There is Nothing in the world like beating what your mind has built up as an insurmountable obstacle! and Then to have someone very special in your life there waiting for you! (made Kathie tear up!) Go give your SO a hug and a kiss from me! She's a keeper!!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
