Words to live by

Totally off the topic of Lyme, yet quite germane to what we go through with our ole buddy Lyme, is a well-known quote from writer Nora Ephron, who died recently at age 71 (reportedly of cancer):

                    "Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim."

This says to me to be strong and brave, especially when things seem the darkest and most hopeless.  

The very act and state of having courage is in itself a victory, and most assuredly applies to Lyme and to us.

Hurrah!
