Jim Cordy- I'm with you! The shear diversity of this list in experiences, facts, feeling, and ideas makes it great in my opinion. I'm definitely not someone with "thin skin", so people can expect me to be "poking my nose" in regularly. We are all in a learning process about PD,ourselves, life, others, everyting! The wonderful blessing of e-mail is it offers more communication opportunities than at any time in history. It all contributes to the great observation that just ahead may lie the same "miracle" as experienced by people with polio, smallpox, etc - they just couldn't perceive their miracle quite as wonderfully as we can due to limited communication and worldwide awareness of each other. I think we should all be so thankful for each other- the "good" and the "bad"....
