I shared this post on FB 17 years ago. I was a zoology undergrad hunting for courses to complete the credit requirements. I thought an advanced hydrogeology class would work 😁 I was never a smart kid so no one believed in me. ♥️ to my profs at Ohio uni, Mizzou for making geology fun and exciting

Having neglected my health and well-being, I'm proud to say that within the last three years I've managed to add a few more to the list of chronic health challenges.

Last night my therapist told me not to think about the past. I should probably tell him I'm a paleontologist. Most of my thoughts are about the past... and clams. (No Shame in getting help. I've always been open about my challenges)

Nothing makes you appreciate effortless breathing quite like a stubborn and persistent asthma attack.
