I've started tai chi and I'm liking it - had to miss last week after my infusion, which was frustrated, and I need to do some cramming today to catch up before I go tonight... It's an ever present thing though, and I think very common to most of us with chronic illness, as the day to day frustrations and not feeling 100% constantly undermine even the best efforts at staying positive.

I hope your early action has lead to you feeling more able to do the things you want and enjoy doing.

So, I'll head there for the free intro session and to meet people and see how I go. The next beginner group starts on April 18. And coffee yesterday with my friend was great. It also helped that Dragon Dad had an excellent meeting with some important potential colleagues - if he can get past the current block on the business and get it moving, that will be a huge boost for both of us.<br />Thanks, as always, for your sage words, Rick!
