The latest news from my doctor is now I am having gall bladder problems. I swear sometimes I just want to lay down, pull the covers over my head and say to hell with everything. I have had the HIV virus for about 20 years and full blown AIDS for about 15. I always said that AIDS would not take me out and in acutallity it will not, but all of the complications that you encounter with this disease either they take you out or you do it yourself when you can no longer deal with life.
I would love to see a cure but I don't expect to see it in my life time and much of the damage that has been done to my body can not be reversed. And age is another factor. Longevity runs in my family and my best hope is that it will skip over me and I can go quietly into the night. I am sure that there are plenty of others out there sharing that same prayer. The best that I can try to do is make a difference while I am here and that is my aim.

WHAT IS LIFE FOR?
Every day we wake up with a new chance to make the world a better place for all of us. A chance to put our own beliefs aside and listen to others and hear their side of the story. Each of us has an opportunity every day to make this a better place for all of the inhabitants of this world. Now all we need is a little direction. If there isn't someone out their telling you how to do it, then just open your eyes and look around at all of the injustices being done. I have spent a lot of my life fighting for causes that I believe in and have helped make some milestones. But it was never enough and never will be enough until we do have world peace and we are all equal in each others eyes.
So, now I ask you before you go to bed tonight, think about what you are going to do when you wake up tomorrow. It isn't necessary to take on the world single handed, there is a lot of help out there waiting for new recruits. How and where do you want to start making a difference. You can start with just a friendly smile at a stranger instead of turning your head a different direction, with your head held high and maybe a good morning or hello. It has to start somewhere, and how easy can that be. Mike
