    Thursday, September 18, 2008 | A Positive story

    As I watch our stock market tumbling I find myself feeling cynical, how did these folks get us IN to this mess!  I then remember one of the the coolest coolest things about my job....THE PEOPLE...I get inspired all over again and I have to think we will all be ok.  When I do talks in schools or community groups I tell kids about the long haul medicine entails&nb...

Although I had to move 17 hours back to NM for my surgeries and recovery I still am alone almost all the time and emotionally I am completely alone here in my thoughts until I found this web site.

  • Are you sure I have GD???

    Monday, December 8, 2008

    I swear with how much I did today and how great I felt doing it I would not believe that I'm the same person who's been living with GD for the past couple of months.  Man!  Praise God!!!  He's been so good to me.  I hate to complain at all about my day because it was perfect.  Everything like: the snow that fell and is still falling, cooking my BBQ c...
