Hi Moonbeam! I love your quotes especially the one about fading away from joy.

E. B. White also had a thought I love: "I get up every morning determined both to change the world and to have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning the day difficult."

Then there's Albert Einstein's, "Your imagination is the preview to life's coming attractions." Maureen, your army of friends and family all imagine you completely well and strong.
