To quote The Moody Blues, "Isn't Life Strange?"

Well, Hallelujah! A beautiful day follows a rested night. Never underestimate the value of sleep. It is when the body heals itself. And being rested plays a big role in our outlook on life.

Flossie and I watched The Oprah Show, and her guest was Michael J Fox.

He has written a book, "Always Looking Up," [Tales of an Incurable Optimist] and he has a TV Special coming up in May. Michael has been dealing with Parkinson's for a long time, and had to arrange his interview in sync with his medications. Also, a woman was a guest who woke up with a stiff neck, and it progressively got worse and now her head is permanently resting on her right shoulder. So her perspective on life is certainly from a different angle than most of us. Dr Oz was a guest to help explain how the brain works or doesn't work and the resulting symptoms. I am absolutely fascinated with the brain and its capabilities. There's so much that we don't know yet. And then there was some stem cell research discussion. Whew! The possibilites are immense. And yet the medical discussions also related to attitude, resolve, and the effects of these unexpected illnesses. Quite often these unexpected circumstances lead us in a direction that is different than we had planned. But it is also true that there are silver linings that would never have been seen were it not for chance placing us on a different path. What do you think about that?

And now let me end with a smiler or two . Cause smiling is good therapy.

My subject and verb have agreed to disagree.
