Hi Marcie, We are all captains of our own ships because we steer our own ships in a positive direction. Do you remember me saying that Leukemia is not only a disease of one's body but their mind as well. It is how you handle yourself that makes a big difference. If someone goes around with a terrible attitude then that is what they will get. If someone goes around with a good attitude then that is what they will have.
Anyway, I have an appointment at Tampa Hospital for an annual exam for a kidney transplant. It's just that I have to be current with everything just in case it happens. The hospital is more then four hours away so I have to get some sleep now. 18's, Marty On Wed, Nov 12, 2014 at 8:53 PM, 'Marcie Goodman' via CMLHope < [email protected]> wrote: > Marty, > > What a lovely email to Sue.
