It's all about becoming a better individual ...

It's good that Steven's bursitis has cropped up as an issue. As odd as that sounds, It gives us all a chance to think about what each of us will do if/when the time comes that we run into a wall. What will any of us do if we break an arm, become ill, or develop a condition that precludes some types of participation? I see this program as a process of self-improvement, so could we substitute out something that becomes impossible at the moment for some other equally good thing that is possible? I was recently reading one of Tom Callos' blogs that mentioned adding positive elements to life (and eliminating negative ones). His list included ten minutes of meditation (and I thought about where I could possibly fit THAT into my day ...). But something like that, some substitute, might be a really good option in such a situation. Then, rather than adding a worry such as falling behind, we could add another good experience.
