Depression is not due to my disease; stress; anxiety; all those little demons that want to get in  because you leave a door open... No ! I know what ALS is; the handbook has told me everything there is to expect .. what's coming; so.. I'm not going to say I'm ready for it, No one can be, but I'm building enough strength to deal with it. The worse part is to close the door to those little demons that interfere with your joy. To save energy, to gain strength one has to be in a happy environment with love, very heart felt love, happiness, laughter; nice conversation,  is all I need to be able to dance in the rain and see the sun shine.
