Thought of the day

[gmarkj]

As part of the #o2surprise that I received last week, there was a jar of smiles. Many were keen to see what would come out of the jar each day, so here are the ones so far!

The one that I picked out on Friday was "If you want to see the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain".

This morning I picked out "Relax and reflect. A bad day doesn't mean it's a bad life".

As he wrote 2 more novels after being diagnosed, his address and donation gave him a platform:

"...I was also experiencing the slightly more realistic experience of being a 59 year old who finds they have early-onset Alzheimer’s. Apparently I reacted to this situation in a reasonably typical way, with a sense of loss and abandonment with an incoherent, or perhaps I should say, violently coherent fury that made the Miltonic Lucifer’s rage against Heaven seem a bit miffed by comparison."

I've read another piece from Terry when he stated how furious he was at being diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimers. He also said 'he was insulted'. 

Just shows the range of emotions people experience when being diagnosed with this awful disease.
