[Fredslist] We Are Not Quitters

[David Marks Green Action Advocate]

I agree wholeheartedly. As many of you know, I experienced the and
survived the battle of battles - cancer. During my treatment it seemed
the norm that my doctors would come to speak with me and each day would
present another life-threatening hurdle for me to overcome. I have
always been an optimistic person so my approach was to only think about
my survival. I had no other option. I believed then as I do today that I
am in this world for a reason. So I took each curve ball my doctors
threw my way and I hit it out of the ballpark. I was the Babe Ruth of
cancer patients....And believe me, there was some great pitching
happening then. I have approached life with the same resolve since then
in hopes to protect our environment and prevent others from having to
come up to bat and potentially strike out with their own battle with
cancer. I look at this economic climate (and my current unemployment) as
just another one of those curve balls - except this time we are all up
at bat at once. My point is, with a positive attitude and a heart full
of faith, we as a community, as a city, as a country and as a planet
will surely succeed.

Warm Regards All,

Subject: Still Struggling and Hustling


I recently asked someone how they were doing and he responded that he
was "still struggling and hustling" and it struck me that those words
sum up the clarion cry of our incipient economic recovery. 

Yes, struggling under the weight of what's most probably the second
"great" (what's so great about it?) Depression, but hustling to survive
with the hope it will lead to prosperity. 
No self centered "why me" belly aching, but resilient 1940 England under
siege like resolve. 

I admire that and see in it the pathway out!
