    When called an “inspiration,” I inwardly smirk while outwardly I graciously accept the compliment. I know I am just trying to live my life the best I can and have done nothing heroic. Through the years, when the speaker at an event begins with words like, “Now I would like to introduce a person who is truly an inspiration…”my wife glances at me with a knowing expressions of what is coming next. Sometimes when she has gotten angry with me, I have remined her that I am an inspiration. Not a good idea! Seriously, I do believe that just by going on in our lives, whether in a wheelchair or on crutches, we do inspire able-bodied people who may have other sorts of challenges to keep on going. Never give up!

    I had my second Moderna shot on March 3. I had a bump on my arm for about a week but that was about it.  My wife had her second shot yesterday and has felt achy and a bit out of sorts, but she’s 60 and I’m only 59.
