Purpose:

This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.

I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.

I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no “brief candle” for me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.

ALS #1

11 Feb 2018

Well, it looks like the beetles are going to have me sooner than expected.  At present ALS symptoms are confined to my right hand / arm. Asked Dr McDowell to be straightforward with me and he was.  Because it is only in one limb, he could be wrong and he can't name it officially -- but it is most likely.

Landscaping, (pruning) I am working as much as possible. 

I have a clearness committee on Tuesday 13 Feb 2018 -- Kathy M (convenor), Vince, Celeste, Susan C, Jane MV
Only they and Michael Arslanian (and Karma?) know.  Maybe Callie, via Kathy. I will speak to others one at a time - Judith to start with and others depending upon my emotional fortitude.

I need to / want to hire an assistant to help with purges.  So much to do, life has become compressed.

I've started a video diary.  Reference: The Martian

Insomnia wearing down want to be back in bed by 4:00 am

will create a book of quotes a little legacy project.
