Good thing too! I have said many times, "I can't complain", because indeed I seem to be surrounded by folks in worse shape than I am in any one of the two or fewer areas where I'm not 100%.
I also can't brag. I tried, but alas, I'm way outdone there too. Mentioned to a neighbor a couple blocks down that my robin babies seemed to be about to fly away. Oh yes, she said, "My robins left the nest a long time ago, then we had a nest of mourning doves, and now that they've left, we have a nest of finches. We sit on our patio and watch them. They all use the same nest." "Ah," said I, "That's so fun." And I hunched my shoulders and slithered home to attend to my measly nest of four robins, definitely less smug in my adventure with nature. I thought later that I should have asked her not to produce so many mourning doves, as they winter in Phoenix (some of them) and eat up my grass seed.
