Resilience

We’ve been shut-ins the past three months dealing with Parkinson's-induced health issues. We've been walking around the block the last couple of weeks, and last weekend we enjoyed our first hike since last summer. Lizard "hit a wall" about 3/4 of the way through this hilly 2.2-mile loop, and I wondered if I'd have to flag a park ranger to get us back to our car. But Lizard pressed on and said he finally got his second wind about a quarter mile later. He completed the entire loop! Each time Parkinson's throws a road block at us, we are never sure how much he will get back. I honestly did not know if he'd be able to do more than a few hundred feet today, but he's constantly vowing to kick Parkinson's to the curb. Boy, did he ever do that today!!!
