February 2025: in denial
March 2025: pain overcomes denial
May 2025: surgically excise the pain
Summer time green healing
Swimming my way to health
Rising strength seeks
New Year of the Fire Horse
Curious how shedding of pain
Leads to galloping

Wonderful painting. I love snakes, but the year of the snake was trouble for some. You and my wife both. “Hi-ho, Silver! Away!”

Wow! An interesting development! I had minor surgery this past summer, too. Still healing. But sounds like you are doing well.

This is gorgeous Cheyenne! LOVE! Fabulous.
(I don’t do exercises a lot, but I do some. However, I go for 2-3 hour walks. They make my body sing!)
