oh, thank you @goldenoakfarm, I really appreciate your kind words.
I suppose we can all look back at certain marks of time and have an itch for some of those times again. Especially when it comes to health. What you have done to take control is so remarkable. I really admire you for it.
Thanks about the photo. that's really nice of you to say. I don't mind that one because it's real and not posed ...sweat dripping down my nose and all. :)
