Let’s face it: losing your mind is a fate far worse than death. This week, a good friend from high school died of Alzheimer’s disease at just 67 years old. Unfortunately, no meds can appreciably change that process once diagnosed. And it’s doubtful there ever will be. (Some other time, I’ll address why I’m 99.99% positive about that opinion.) My…

It’s all about choosing your thoughts which, by its very nature, is a lesson…
