Thanks for calling that out. I have people reiterate that recently, "I am enough."

There are many types of toughness, and you're demonstrating the best kind--the kind that assures you're living authentically, that your character and abilities are well used, despite challenges. Good on you. (Or give yourself a slap on the back, whichever you prefer)

Thanks Janice for your kind words - "living authentically", I like the way that sounds.
