Reflection on passing of Queen Elizabeth II -- building my strength to get back to fuller function. 

I woke up the sad news of the imminent passing of the Queen who also served as Canada's Head of State -- she was the Queen of Canada and we will be entering a major constitutional process along with the UK. I'm feeling good today so I thought I'd collect and express some thoughts on the challenging conversations that likely will trigger in Canada. I sprinkle in a little of my own past as an immigrant and how I've observed our transition from a colonial past to a progressive modern nation, still a work in progress of course.
It feels good to talk about something more than headaches, nausea, and endless pills. Thanks for letting me push myself a bit as I begin my sprint to the finish.
