  2. What is your most valuable asset? (REPEAT) It’s not your bones or your joints or even health, necessarily. It’s YOUR TIME - Do you agree or disagree? It’s the one thing you can’t get more of, right?\n
  3. more specifically as it relates to today’s topic... the asset I’m trying to preserve is...\n
  4. your PAIN FREE TIME\nStopping arthritis is ultimately about giving yourself more of this asset. You can’t get more time, but you can get more pain-free time. A good first step in that process is learning about the problem of arthritis. This talk is a good introduction.\n
