September 7, 2018, Prescott-
August didn’t kill me.
It was not for lack of trying.
I am, like others in my family,
stubborn, determined,
that the month,
this year,
the next two or three years,
are not my swansong.
Joint pain came and was dispatched,
thanks to my chiropractor,
and a gift from a trusted friend.
Secrecy, in and around my little work family,
means nothing to me,
in terms of my getting my job done.
Harsh criticism,
coming from a casual acquaintance,
who claims to know my future,
will not blunt, or alter, my life’s course.
August didn’t kill me,
nor will September.
When the spirit is strong, the soul is adventurous.
Rock on, brother!

I hear aqua exercises are good for the joints, but I wouldn’t know from personal experience. I don’t even know how to swim.

I use a hydrobed, which has similar effects.

Hang in there. Often when people criticise they are actually looking inwards at themselves, and despite how it sounds you can bet your last dollar these words are not always what they seem. Still hurts though.

Yes, and I have done a lot of reflecting, when criticism has come my way, trying to glean what lessons I can take from it.
