Favorite quote...
A more subtle factor in the production and maintenance of physical health is morale, or “spirit.” Increasing evidence is pointing to the fact that if a person finds his life challenging, purposeful, satisfying, and meaningful, his body works better, maintains its health better, and resists infectious illness better. Such a life, characterized by meaningful work, enjoyable play, and love and friendship thus seems to function as a kind of inexpensive health insurance.

Thanks for making this community! I think that being positive each day helps us to make each day a better one, regardless of whether we are the patient or the supportive family member.
