I never post pictures of myself, but I want to share this photo taken by my wife in our backyard. Eight days have passed since my brain surgery. I’m still a little wobbly, but I am getting stronger every day and trying not to strain myself.

I am also grateful for being able to soak up the sunshine—standing and breathing on my own. And I wish speedy recoveries for other people enduring health crises.

Thank you for your prayers and kind thoughts.
