I wish you all a Happy Holiday season!

For those who find themselves no longer able to celebrate in the way they have been accustomed to, I suggest that you think about the message of Christmas, (whether or not you celebrate the holiday.)

It is "Peace On Earth and Good Will Towards Men (and Women!)"

And don't forget to be kind to yourselves!

Remember the people who have and are supporting you!
Family, friends, medical professionals, and members of KIDNEY SPACE!

May this Holiday Season and the New Year bring us the best quality of life we can attain!

Peace and Blessings!

Rich,

I am thankful for life itself, and how far I have come in regards to my disease.  At 17 years old I was praying that I would at least live til 37 years old.  Now I am 46.  I am grateful for how far things have come since those early years. 

I look at my disease in different avenue, even back then.  I at least have 'options' for this disease, there are many diseases that people do not have 'options'. 

Peace on earth and goodwill towards men (and women of course).  Amen to that!

Looking forward to the New Year and what it will bring.

Many new friends this past year have been an inspiration.  Support is something all of us need. We all have each other. 

I wish you all the best for the New Year to come!
