Every once and a while I rear my ugly head and have a few words to say. I have only a request this time...........day in and day out we find the courage within us to get up out of bed and propell our "typically" very subsonically slow rear ends onward to face another day. I have found that even on my worst days, be that physically or mentally or both, I'll very often find someone has put a piece of inspirational saying or poem or story on the list. Over my 2 years on, I've collected quite a library of them. However, not having the hindsight to see what I ultimately would like to do with these, I only made hard copies when I should've been copying and pasting and saving files!! I'd like to put a book together of these sayings..... I know how they lift me when I read them! Maybe they'll help others who may be feeling down and full of self-pity............Please because of the recent controversy over our list's use and proper etiquette; do not flood the list with these........below are two addresses you may E-mail them to me: [log in to unmask] -or- [log in to unmask] Excuse me if I offended anyone by not contibuting medically or technically towards our goal of knowledge of PD. To those who help me out..........MY SINCEREST GRATITUDE AND THANKS!!! To my BUD..............love ya!
