Well said. And isn't it funny how we kill the messenger here as well! Thanks Adam - I never caught that before. I do try. I appreciate the gift and will take it in. Right! Well said.

I find that when I villify my "early warning signals," it always costs me more down the road. Those signals aren't a sign that something's broken; they're a sign that my systems are working! It's called Feedback. :) I liked the way you communicated this, without judgment, too. That's a big plus that I'm finding to be one of your gems, if I may say so... Great distinction, Dave.

I also have a medical condition, not as serious as Lyme disease, but still it causes me to have a great problem with fatigue. It's been a good teacher, though. I've learned to pace myself, as well as to appreciate the health that I still have. Thanks! Lee Good post.
