Thanks Aussie! I am keeping hope alive. I don't worry every day. It's just sometimes when I get to thinking to far into the future. I do meditate and most days stick to positive thinking. Just slip at times. Sometimes for a few days in a row. Then I go back to positive thinking.
I'm so happy for you that your pain abated to the point it has. That's great news to hear.
I also like the proverb.
