Another Day In Paradise


Pardon my seriousness for a moment: I feel like I have to say this every so often so bear with me. I try my best to bring smiles and laughter here through these glimpses into my life and mind. But the truth, as most know, is that every day is a fight for me. A fight through pain, nausea and other related symptoms resulting in near constant medication (bear with my repetition, most of you know all this already). 

Fight of my life sounds so melodramatic and that is one thing I try my best to avoid but it is the hardest thing I have ever dealt with and recently my condition has gone noticeably and inexplicably downhill. But I still fight every day, its all I know how to do. I try to keep my life as close to some semblance of normal and who I used to be as I can. And I will always fight, one time when my stubbornness (thanks Mom, Janice Salisbury for that) comes in handy. But truth be told, as I have said ad nauseum, having my loving, amazing wife and soulmate Melissa, my best friends Becca and Liza, my like-minded "sister" Janette and the entire network of friends and support that I do is invaluable. However you do it, via a shoulder, an ear, thoughts, prayers, words here, they are all very important to me. So in my typical long-winded way, I'm trying to say thank you. One and all.
