Weakness

 Hi Natty!  How are you today, Surf Princess?  Please be careful out there, safe is boring but I need you.  I need you to keep safe.  I hope you are enjoying yourself, and keeping healthy.  I had to take Lily to the vet this morning.  She was feeling weak: she had trouble getting up, slow in general, and landing jumps by falling splat on her face.  Lily has never been to the vet, and it's a long scary journey.  When we got there, I told the vet that she was weak and tired.  Then I took Lily out of the pet carrier, and she was bouncing off the walls trying to escape the doctor.  He said, "She doesn't look weak to me".  But he determined that she had a fever, and gave her a couple of shots.  By dinnertime, Lily seemed more like herself again.  Weakness is the ultimate non-specific symptom to just about every disease out there, yet it can't be ignored.  But what about weakness in personality and willpower?  Yet more about human imperfections.  I'm not that strong, I have no power if not for the Power of Allah.
