Thank you for your kind comment. Sorry ...Tashabud, <br />Thank you for your kind comment. Sorry it took so long to publish it, it had been automatically placed in the spam folder and I missed it. <br />I know what you mean when you say you would have given up, but I believe that sometimes the continuous striving to achieve becomes the best way to stay sane. It also provides a more rewarding life.<br />As for my own health, unfortunately things are gradually worsening, this has been and will continue to be a constant theme in my life. The best I can do is to reduce the rate of decline by working hard on pain management exercises and techniques. <br />Once again thanks for your kind comment<br />JohnJohn Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00020697451985437188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-883131172123152234.post-82426574914739491282012-09-01T19:10:15.098+01:002012-09-01T19:10:15.098+01:00Liz,

As much as I would love every one of Team GB to win, Even if they don't, it's still a proud day. 2nd, 3rd or last is not a loss, the main thing is that you took part. C'mon Team GB.
