Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Thanks Tony, I too stayed with it as long as I could, I hope you can continue to do what you love. Marla " Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible " From: Neurosarcoidosis [mailto:Neurosarcoidosis ] On Behalf Of Tony Sent: Friday, January 12, 2007 9:11 AM To: Neurosarcoidosis Subject: To Marla Thank you for the words of encouragement Marla. I often find myself pushing the envelope only to pay the price at a later time. I, too, teach as an adjunct at a local community college. I sense this semester will be a challenge with the current level of fatigue. Sadly, I find it difficult to give up on the things I love to do. As Arthur C. e once stated " The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible. " I'll live by maxim until proven otherwise. Stay well my friend.
