Your fall

[Guest guest]

Mike,

I was so sorry to hear about your fall but glad to hear you are

starting to spring back. I have read some awful descriptions of

accidents by you, but you always seem to have such a good sense of

humor and positive attitude about them.

At times like that I don't feel very humorous. The last time I fell,

I went around one side of a post and my dog went around the other

while he was at the other end of a leash I was holding. When we both

hit the end of the leash, I was the one that flew backwards. I

sometimes feel like one of those cartoon figures that get blown off

their feet by explosions. That has even happened when I sneeze

although most of the time when I feel that coming I can grab onto

something sturdy. Anyway, the point I am reaching is that when I got

up and one of my neighbors asked me if I had fallen, I burst into

tears. I feel like an even bigger dumbie at that point.

Your family is very lucky to have you and I know they realize it and

appreciate your courage. I appreciate it, too, as you show it is

possible to feel that way.

Hope you and your family have a fun safe holiday. I know it makes

you much more conscious of the fragility of life when it is shown how

quickly it can change. I like a phrase I read the other day, " Learn

as if you will live forever, live as if you will die tomorrow. "

Refuse to let this keep you from enjoying life.

Regards, Sue Ellen
