Many years ago in Rochester, the pastor of the UU church I belonged to gave a series of sermons on "Lessons Learned from Mountain Climbing."

I'll be honest - I don't remember most of that series.  But there is one that I've never forgotten, one statement that changed my outlook in the long term:

It sounds as if you've had an amazing recovery, and have picked up some extra mobility compared to the last many years. That's fantastic! I hope your ability to sense and budget your energy continues to grow while, at the same time, you need it less.
