Well, it’s been an eventful week. One thing it shows me is that I have a lousy track record when it comes to optimism. I always expect the worst, like a dog you read about in those books who cringes at the back of a cage expecting to be beaten. In this case it was […]

Well, Lisa, my dietician, and I had another phone meeting today. It’s always such a joy to talk to her – she is a very fair person, she acknowledges what I’ve done, and she makes doing more of it seem so much more doable. I’m very grateful for having her expertise available to me. I […]
