My name is Janine, I wasn't on the list until Tex (Bob Armentrout) one of the famous poets on this list, came to be with me, that I joined the list. There is one thing all of us have in common. We are all saddened by the knowledge that we or someone we know is ill, with as of right now, an illness that there is no cure for. Many of us come here to share our fears and thoughts of what awaits us down the road. We are all scared of the unknown and I am sad when I read that people fight. It seems to me that there is so much ugly in the world that all of us would want to make each other feel as special and important as we possibly could when we write or reply to what someone else writes. I know that sometimes we can't sleep. We share what we are thinking at the time, it may make us feel alittle not to always be dwelling on our illnesses. We need to appreciate what each of us have to offer even if we don't always agree. I do agree that we should try to stick to the subject of pd most of the time, but I also feel if the only thing we can share is the not so pleasent things in life, that is kind of sad. There are people on this list that I am sure don't want to read what some people write. But I guess there is a delete key for that. We really need to hold hands and try to make everyone feel as important as they are in the world. We all just want to be heard. Count each of your blessings and love one another for wanting to share what we have to offer and try to respect everyone's feelings. There always will be times that everyone doesn't agree, but make the best of it. Life is to short to be nasty. God gave each of us ears and fingers to type and here is where we come to give what we have. Thank you for giving me what you have. My famous poet comes here to share what he has to offer. I know he would feel an emptiness if he could not give what he does. Love you all. janine _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.
