Hang in there! I really feel what you're saying about having to appear hardworking despite pain and disability. I'm in that sort of spot too, although I think not to the extent you are.

Just typical aging and two kinds of arthritis. If there were a YMCA near me, they would probably put me in that senior class too.

But don't let anybody tell you you aren't relevant! You are, you matter in so many ways!

Thank you for continuing to write and for being here.
