The little things that mean a lot

[Jenette]

Yay me! I cut my own toenails and still have all ten toes!

Only someone like us can appreciate how fantastic that feels!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Don't stop there...the world is your oyster.

Amazing what many take for granted can make our day!!! Includes all elements of self-grooming, many household tasks, the list goes on. The maIn thing to have is a sense of humor which includes the ability to laugh at ourselves first and the willingness to share our accomplishments with others.....thanks Jenette. I know exactly how you feel..........cutting my toenails is a chore and the positions I have to assume to even reach my feet are quite amusing------------but thanks for starting my day with a smile-------enjoy your day.

I just gave up (or in) this chore as I was not doing a very good job of it - really couldn't reach my feet any more. Now I have a wonderful podiatrist who comes to my home. Since I got him through our Senior Center, he's reasonably priced.

It is good to read things like this - I spend so much time fighting shadows.....
