 What an example of a fighter, for those of us fighting the fight. 

What a great example for all women, and all men. A life well lived.

    Justice Ginsburg

    Justice Ginsburg was an icon, a fighter and a person with colon cancer.  May she rest in peace.

    Devastating news. I can't

    Devastating news. I can't stop crying. I did see her workout she started because of the colon cancer, and thought, that's it, no excuses not to get in my elliptical tomorrow. Seriously though, her strength is, was, something very few have.

    She was amazing, I'm with my

    She was amazing, I'm with my mom twice a week, and she's an 87yo, and while she's still sharp, she's quite fragile physically, from coping with a worn out hip. I couldn't imagine how RBG dealt with the demands of treatments and being a Supreme Court Justice. Some tough-minded lady she was, RIP Justice Ginsburg..........................................Dave

    The Notorious RBG was an icon

    The Notorious RBG was an icon. I'll expose myself a bit and note that I was an admiinistrative law judge and I also worked in politics. Everyone I know was devastated. I'll think about how she worked through her treatments and Boseman was doing movie stunts and will kick myself if I start to have a pity party.

    Thanks for asking! I feel like I'm at 60% me right now. I'll be off restrictions soon, so I will be doing more moving around. Definitely don't have the healing powers I used to, lol. MRI in a week.

    I hope you're doing well.
