Amazing what many take for granted can make our day!!! Includes all elements of self-grooming, many household tasks, the list goes on. The maIn thing to have is a sense of humor which includes the ability to laugh at ourselves first and the willingness to share our accomplishments with others.....thanks Jenette. I know exactly how you feel..........cutting my toenails is a chore and the positions I have to assume to even reach my feet are quite amusing------------but thanks for starting my day with a smile-------enjoy your day.

I just gave up (or in) this chore as I was not doing a very good job of it - really couldn't reach my feet any more. Now I have a wonderful podiatrist who comes to my home. Since I got him through our Senior Center, he's reasonably priced.
