I learned a long time ago (in the 70's) that life is short & to live it to the fullest. It came back to me big time in 1991 and yes what is important is to live life, live the dream & enjoy the ride along the way. Regardless of Cancer, HIV/AIDS, MS, Parkinsons, etc., etc., etc., it is MIND OVER MATTER!!! ATTITUDE, ATTITUDE, ATTITUDE! And you definitely have the Attitude. You will do well & it was fun meeting you in July and hope to "live the dream" with you in San Pedro again soon!
