Go placidly among the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant, they too have their story.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter, for there will always be great...

Well I AM off all HIV meds now due to the horrible side effects that I had with both prescriptions. I lost another 6 pounds while taking Atripla for only 11 days! I AM happy to report that I AM feeling so much better now and my will to LIVE has returned. I was super busy yesterday and got a lot of things accomplished and that feels so wonderful. I really didn't...1 Recommendation4 Comments

For once, my life feels as if it is on the up and up. Not much really gets me down... except during my period. LOL. I can't listen to a sad song on the RADIO without bawling my eyes out! But, that's nothing new. Since my doc put me on the other med to help with my mood swings, I have been doing absolutely amazing. No mood freak outs, only really one tim...1 Recommendation3 Comments

My field of flowers is in in full bloom now too an...1 Recommendation5 Comments -

Randy Pausch recently passed away from pancreatic cancer, but he lived a fullfilled...1 Recommendation3 Comments -
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...4 Recommendations23 Comments

I had my shrink appointment last week and did enjoy meeting my psychiatrist. He's a jolly old man with grease stains on his shirt, who had a few clues about HIV. Doctors with clues about HIV are so far and few between in my little corner of the World. It was refreshing to have a doctor aware of all of many of the...1 Recommendation3 Comments

AS MOST OF YOU KNOW ABOUT THE JOUNAL PROBLEM BY NOW, I HAVE PRINTED AND DELETED EVERY JOURNAL ENRY I HAD AND POSTED A MESSAGE IN MY "ABOUT ME" SECTION FOR EVERYONE TO SEE AND BE AWARE.
BUT I WANTED TO TAKE A MINUTE AND SAY THANK YOU TO SO MANY THAT HAVE READ AND HAVE WRITTEN SUCH TRULY INSPIRING COMMENTS ON MY ENTRIES. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THAT MEANS TO ME AND I HAD NO IDEA ...1 Recommendation4 Comments -
Color has a profound affect Psychologically on our mood and perception. This has been used extensively in consumerism and marketing/packaging, and even office and medical facilities have employed color to create a sense of well-being. This is not just theoretical, rather empirical evidence. For instance, if one suffers from extreme anxiety, a totally red environment may be hostile to ...1 Recommendation3 Comments
