Resisting, navigating the slog, that’s my game; wasn’t my intention, to be standing in it ten years running, this blog become my therapy room, means of coping, keeping track, sane,

Oddly, comparison helps, thinking of others who have their own struggles, friends who have already departed, with them in mind I realize, other friends with equal or greater struggle, and then,

With time I discern to have gratitude for the slog, happily wallow, not resist, find renewed resiliency, welcome the things, the very indication of life being lived, no matter how clunky,

Slog on, life being lived,

Life being lived.
