Some inspiration from Tennyson

I hope you might all find this little inspirational and of some comfort that were going through the same thing - I'm not usually the sort that remembers any poetry but I read it the other day, not in relation to our liver issues but to someone who'd been affected by stress and Covid and I really connected with it. It's from a poem that Tennyson wrote about Ulysses (Odysseus).

"We are not now the strength which in old days/ Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are/ Made weak by time and date, but strong in will."

That seemed to sum up my situation and also many of the people using this forum - maybe it can give you something to think about?
