i'm building a body where our design has failed

If the endeavor is what I suspect it is, the Ten is worth listening to. I will need to remember to take care of myself, and expect to need to call in help -- despite my tendency to believe I can muddle through on my own. Knowing that I actually have reached the end may be hard. I will be putting in a lot, and will keep reminding myself that I'm doing it for myself, and the reward that will be worth it is the improvement in my own outlook, despite any other costs that may show up.
