A Story with a Happy Ending

Last spring a friend of mine was really depressed about two things: the acute plantar fasciitis in her

right foot that made it painful to walk, and how difficult it was to get a good fish dinner in Portland, Oregon.

She decided that a vacation in Portland, Maine, on the Atlantic Coast might do her good.

And, sure enough, two weeks later, after an afternoon of pain-free walking and over a delicious fish dinner, she turned looked up with a big smile on her face, then pointed to her foot and then to her meal, and sang, with great enthusiasm: "It is well.  With my sole.  It is well, it is well, with my sole."
