Looking for friends, information, and inspirations....I'm amazed at the prompt and intriguing replies to my high tech "message in a bottle" tossed out two days ago on a whim. My body was going into its new mega rigid phase where even getting a breath is discomforting to say the least. At least I was safe on my bed; the most recent epicenter of my steadily diminishing geographical world. And I had $10 an hour college girl/ typist for a few hours.

Lately I look to see if i can focus the mind as a way to keep the mental/emotional bodies from becoming as out of control as the physical. Though at times I attempt to keep at least a few of the unraveling threads of my life intact; financial matters, returning an email from a friend, clicking on a news headline in order to appear current with world events; in reality my task completion grade is c- at best and as a teacher I was always an easy grader.

Working in collaboration however really is quite transformative; quite B+. This fall i hope to get a a volunteer from the local catholic high school that
requires a junior year service project. I am convinced that keeping the mind and emotions positively engaged releases trapped
energy.

The information you all mentioned has indeed been an inspiration to me and I look forward to communicating and collaborating with friends old (paula was my first parkie cyber contact and remains her supportive self with her post) and new.

I wish to challenge myself to post a thread or a response everyday for a week.

thanks
