Hey...at least you are still running so it could be much worse!

The saying goes "if you pray for patience God will give you things that require patience." I guess I'm impatiently waiting for patience.
May I suggest some Norman Vincent Peale for further inspiration?
He had many good things to say. The Crystal Cathedral guy did and so does Mr Trump.
Let's hope I can make this report. I'm clearly on the way back.

Take a deep breath and celebrate your progress.
Consider how impossible your current line of deads was before you started.
You have muscle memory and mental training that will bring things back more quickly this time.
There is wisdom in gratitude.

I needed no music for these weights but we all listened to Meatloaf to honor his passing.
