Well it has been awhile since I have had much to say. A CURE? A cure is nice to think about, to possibly dream about. Knowing I have lived this day to the fullest of my capabilities, accomplished some, if not all that I had set out to do brings me closer to a cure. The "cure" to me is knowing that the pd has not beat me today and that I may lay my head down tonight knowing, although the war still rages..I won the round for today. Winning is a mind set. Conquering the day's battle is lending a helping hand to those less fortunate..offering love instead of hate...keeping a positive attitude toward all that I do. When my day is through and I am on bended knee may I thank my Lord for the peace and mercy He has blessed me with to live this gift called life.
