        6.      Recited my affirmation/s - such as the Keller quote below
(which has inspired me enormously since I first read it just yesterday.  I
was telling my darling daughter about it, and about your mail in general,
Dale, and tho' I was having a 'good' day, it totally cracked me up and we
ended up having a little weep together over it, and the cruelty of this
damned disease that brings us together in this strange, strange way.)

                                OR

        6.      Spared a thought for those PWPs who live alone, so have
no caregiver to share the little things of the everyday - who wake
without the need to speak, and tell silent pictures goodnight before
facing those long dark hours alone.  (3. may cover this, but is p'raps
not specific enough - can PWPs assume priority on your list?)  Oooh.  I'm
so lucky.  I have a dear friend to stay for a week and I'm treasuring
every moment.
