Thanks Frank,
  Admittedly the, "fatigue factor" grabs all persons regardless of
one's physical condition.  The "key" to avoiding or getting free from
the "fatigue factor" is to realize it's mostly a mental hang-up.  I
find it horrendous that teenagers in the prime of life commit suicide
because they don't feel loved, significant or any of the myriad of
reasons!  If only there was some way to convince people that life is
only as "difficult" as they perceive it.  The old saying, "I thought my
life was bad because I lost a finger until I met a man with no arm"
kind of sends the message.  Seeing is better.  I can't begin to number
the times people say, "Your my inspiration," or "when I feel down I
think of you and realize life isn't so bad."  I don't think of myself
as "inspirational."  I've made up my mind to enjoy the gift of life
while I have it.  The "fatigue factor" choaks the enjoyment so I shun
that "poor me" crap.  I know I'm ramballing on a bit, sorry.  I think
you can identify with what I'm saying.
