fatigue of the day, but it sure makes me happier.
I 'm just as proud to be a part of a group who has some of the
funniest people I have ever read in my life!!!!!!
This listserve should have room enough and something
for one and all. Just CHOOSE what you desire to read .
I appreciate Marjorie's perspective--and it is one shared by Peter, who at
nearly 81 doesn't expect any dramatic personal help from research,
important though it is for younger PWPs. If we are really a "family", as
we often proclaim, let's look at our disagreements as a little "family
therapy session", where we air our discontents and try to find ways to live
together more peacefully--I do believe some of the stresses of the holidays
may have rubbed off on us here! :-) I close with a new signature of mine,
the quotation"stolen" from a church I once attended, and Happy Holiday
wishes to everyone---
