Ken, great idea: 1. I can honestly say I am "brain dead"(at least partially). 2. I have a real excuse for not being able to keep up with others when walking. 3. I can annoy the neighbors (I own my home) by playing the piano at 3am. 4. I have a good reason for being late. 5. My son is finally learning to do housework. 6. I get to try so many new medications. 7. I now have 4 doctors instead of 2 ( MD, gynecologist psychologist, and neurologist). 8. I have learned that I have many more friends than I ever imagined and that a great many people, both locally and on the net, care what happens to me. 9. I can live with change, even if it is happening all the time. 10.I now MUST take better care of myself (regular exercise, eat healthy, and check with the DR.'s on a regular basis). Not too bad a list. don't forget how to laugh Marling [log in to unmask] (work) or [log in to unmask]
