A special friend of mine sent an email with the following and I liked it so well I thought I'd share it with you.

I'll have to question my friend about it, because she's French and that is definitely...1 Recommendation4 Comments

Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.

The clinical trials of this drug as so fantastic! I didn't know that anyone else was even working on another medication. I do agree that a cure for acromegaly lies with stem cell research. If they ever get that down, I think it would be a major blessing for us.
This makes me so happy. There is hope that one day there will be a cure! But for the moment ...1 Recommendation -

Good Morning Everyone!
Yes I say to myself it is going to be a good day.
I do this every morning.
If I don"t I can lay here in bed all the time with
pain. Yes I have pain all the time and about
1pm coming around I start going down. I have to
take a nap. But it is ok. Life is good, GOD
is with me all the time.
So I just want to say
GET UP!
You have one life
if you have a half of a day
GET UP!

This story was featured in a Chicken Soup book a long time ago. It was very touching then, but the impact it has in this video is even more amazing.
