The View From Here – Let The Healing Begin

I just wanted to say thank you for reaching out with so many amazing messages and kind words over the last week.

Last Saturday I took a tumble down a flight of stairs and broke my foot.  Now I’m wearing a fancy walking boot that feels like a brick, but at least I’m up and out and about again.  I’m still limited in what I can do but at least I’m back to work.

I feel like my story of just falling down the stairs wasn’t very exciting so I asked ChatGPT how I could expand on my story telling skills and make it seem much more interesting than it was.

These are the results —

The Secret Spy Mission Gone Wrong – “I was on a top-secret mission, dodging lasers and sneaking past security… but the final boss? My own staircase.”  (I like that one)

The Overenthusiastic Dance Move – “I was just trying to recreate a killer dance move from the ‘80s, but gravity had other plans.”

The Extreme Sport That Wasn’t – “I attempted an Olympic-level stair descent. Nailed the landing—just not in a good way.”

The Superhero Origin Story – “I was testing out my superhero powers, but it turns out flying is not one of them.”

The Clumsy Cinderella – “Lost my slipper, went for a dramatic twirl, and, well… let’s just say Prince Charming is gonna have to wait.”

The Classic Canadian Excuse – “I tripped over an invisible patch of ice… indoors.”

Yeah, I’ll use those.  Mix them up.  For fun.  Instead of the “I just wanted to get something out of the freezer” thing that really happened.

Stairs are slippery.  Be careful out there (smile)
