X-Message-Number: 20741 Date: Mon, 30 Dec 2002 08:24:11 -0500 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: CryoNet #20732 - #20736 To Rudi Hoffman I can't help you in any substantive way, but I will say this. Mike Darwin once said of me that I had an odd attitude to life: even before I was disabled with my brain tumor, I would say simply that life is tough. It can be really bad. But I've always felt that the things life hands you are to be worked against, not just accepted. One more problem after another, so what else is new? Since personal attitudes may well depend on both hormones and background, I can't just suggest that you take on my attitude to your troubles. But life is still tough. We can try to make it LESS tough, for ourselves and even for others, and sometimes we may even succeed a little. Still tough. Did you ever believe that you would go through your life without lots of trouble? Best wishes and long long life, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=20741
