The Power of Habit
Yesterday afternoon, I spoke by phone with an old friend of mine. We’re close in age — within a year of each other, in fact — and have known each other since college. So, we’ve had the chance to share quite a lot of our lives together over the years.Last fall, he experienced a knee injury that has required two surgeries and loads of physical therapy; thankfully, he’s (mostly) on the other side of that now, and is able to climb stairs and walk without pain again, for the first time in months.Duri
