@Former-Member, ouch to your fall! You describe it with good humour but sounds like quite a shakeup. I love your philosophical attitude to possible future limitations with age (may or may not happen, of course). I can just see you zooming around in your 'four-wheel-drive, super-charged wheel chair'. It can be like: 'out of my way, Sonny!' Maybe they should create 'dodgem/wheel chair' stadiums. Could be a new sport for us ageing ones to look forward to. Gee, I'm feeling a bit silly this morning too, by the looks of it! 
On a quieter note, thanks for your kind words. Yes, I have felt knocked around just lately, but in a much better space today. Grateful. And grateful for your lovely words. 
Hi Niqueeta. Just saw that you had left us. Wanted to send a message in case you were looking back in here afterwards. Have been thinking of you over past couple of days and looking forward to when we would chat again. You sounded distressed in your recent messages. I am sorry no-one was available at that time to respond. I am remembering especially your message about what we have to offer younger ones struggling: our capacity for strength, endurance, survival and times of thriving too over the long haul. Please know that I always wish you well.
