No wonder we become cranky…can’t see, hear, move, think, talk, etc… it takes a great deal of effort to not get cranky…lol. Still we find a Happy Jack along the way. ~ hugs. I have a great friend who is 91. Covid couldn’t take him down. Using a walker and cane and says next time we see him he’ll be in better condition. Stay young at heart!
