Thanks! Actually, I was barefoot and sitting on my mobility scooter, so my feet were dry. I didn't stay out long!

I don't want to sound nosey and I won't feel bad if you don't want to say, but why do you use a scooter? I mean, I use my quad to buzz around the property, but I am still a big walker. What's up?

Oh, no worries. Mostly I try to ignore it and stay positive, but I have MS and I'm no longer able to walk. Since I live alone, the scooter keeps me safe and helps prevent falls.

Oh my friend, I did not realize that. You are amazing. You are always so cheerful and positive. You are one tough cookie...God bless you.

It's the only way to be, right? Anytime I get feeling sorry for myself all I have to do is look around and I see someone whose struggles are much greater than my own. Counting my blessings gets me through each day.
