"Is it my responsibility to always look on the bright side? Always be positive? Sometimes I feel that it is my responsibility to point out that it is raining pretty hard on both sides of the street."

None of us have a responsibility to always look on the bright side and be positive, but what's the pay off in doing otherwise? As bad as it is to have PD (and it does indeed suck), it is 100x worse to sit around and moan about it until no one wants to keep you company any more. Finding humor in meeting daily challenges is the best medicine for me.

Each of us eventually has to find our own way to cope. I don't profess to have the answer for everyone, but if I can help just one person enjoy a really good laugh and hold on to hope for a better tomorrow, I feel like I am doing something positive. This is the motivation I need to keep on going.
