AnnClare:
In one word . . You "shine."
You shine brightly.
To be able to paint your toenails without a fully engaged right arm and hand is a testament to your tenacity and radiance of spirit. Heck, it is difficult to even open a bottle with one hand. I am proud that of you for painting your toenails, especially knowing that this once simple task is not now so simple for you to maneuver.
Thank you for reminding us to appreciate the simple things in life. Because, honestly, when the chips are down it is the simple things in life that have the most renewed meaning.
As my own health falters, I do not yearn for a fancy car or extravagant clothing. Many of the material things in life lose importance.
But I will agree that I do enjoy the pampering of a pedicure and a freshly painted toenails. It gives my spirit an uplift. And it is nice to feel feminine amidst the indignity of disappearing health.
Shine on, AnneClare.
