THAT is wonderful news! No wonder you are doing all manner of good things!

Did you know: Hans Selye was diagnosed with an inoperable "fatal" cancer. I heard him lecture in Montreal when he was in his 70s. "I walked out of the doctor's office and thought about all the things I needed to accomplish before I died - and went to the lab." (roughly remembered.) His book, The Stress of My Life, is a good read. Two of his findings have stayed in my mind: It is not the stress that hurts us, it is the way we handle the stress. And "Altruistic self-centredness": taking care of oneself so we are able to take care of others.

You seem to do pretty well on both these.

His cancer never went anywhere. Probably a mis-diagnosis?
