Pugwash's peg-leg

No worries, I am unriled. 100% ironic, yes.
I like the oblique reference to "Life of Brian" which did its' share of riling this side of the pond.
I appreciate Kurt's take on hope.
The cynic would say "Hope is not a strategy"
I do, however, believe in miracles. Isn't that what life itself is?

Indeed it is and so very preciouse.

Duluth, MN is she shipping port for the vast amount of iron ore mined on Minnesota’s Iron Range; a series of ridges running northeast to southwest, 70 miles or so north. “Iron Rangers” are a separate and distinct culture from Duluth and the rest of Minnesota.

An expression attributed to those living on the Range, “It’s bad now, but at least it’s going to get worse!”

One small step for a man...

Tangible progress; Friday, on returning from a physio appointment, the 3rd crew member of the transport team hadn't arrived (to lift me and my wheelchair into my house).

So rather than wait, I said ''I can do this!''.
Got up onto my crutches, 'walked' to the door and using the recently installed grab handles, made my way into my own home; the first time since last November.

''I can do this!''

Woke up early today and was wondering how you were doing. That says it all! Thanks for a positive start to my day.

A milestone. Congratulations! Well done!

That is literally and figuratively a big step!
Also my congratulations!
