Great Idea things seem to
Great Idea things seem to really get foggy during the first few months, first cancer, then what options, then surgery or radiation or something, then waiting, waiting, waiting and more waiting. Of course all of this with the ultimate goal of Live!! but to what end? Goals are cool and your right this site is a God send. Good luck with the Goals; I think I'll work on a few of my own today. Do you think if I work a few minutes a day by the end of the year I can play guitar like Eric Clapton? Maybe I should start with some less ambitious goals0
