One-Liner Wednesday: Dolly Parton’s goal in life

When Dolly Parton was asked about her ultimate goal in life, she answered:
“Just to be happy, to be as productive as I can be, make as many people happy as I can, make as much money as I can, so I can do for more people. And I just want the freedom to work, and everybody else can have the money.”

Mission accomplished, Dolly. Rest in peace. The good you have done in the world will live on for generations.

One-Liner Wednesday: Chiari

When I saw the specialized neurosurgeon last week, after posting here for positive vibes, they asked what my three most troublesome symptoms are and I answered, “Brain fog, fatigue, and balance problems;” they told me that surgery for Chiari malformation should help all three, so I will have that, probably in late October.

One-Liner Wednesday: We

The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.’ ‘We The People.’ ‘We Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes We Can.’ That word is owned by no one. It belongs to everyone. Oh, what a glorious task we are given to continually try to improve this great nation of ours.

US President Barack Obama, excerpted from a 2015 speech on the 50th anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery, Alabama voting rights march and now part of the quote on the outside of the main building of the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois

One-Liner Wednesday: more fatigue

I’ve had a major uptick in my fatigue level so I haven’t been able to manage writing the couple dozen of posts that I wish I had over the last few weeks, but my health care team is working on a new batch of tests, a med change, and probably an additional diagnosis that may eventually lead to improvement, so stay tuned…
