Greetings, and welcome to the 24 February, 2008 Neuromuscular Diseases Newsletter
This free newsletter is put out weekly and provides a wealth of information for anybody living with or interested in Neuromuscular Diseases and the effect it has on people’s lives.

The phrase: “Get over it and move on” is more often than not uttered when people don’t want to hear your problem or when the mourner has difficulty in coping with changing circumstances.

Thoughts for the week:

“I know the price of success:
Dedication, hard work, and a devotion to the things you want to see happen."
- Frank Lloyd Wright

"The best cure for worry, depression, melancholy, brooding, is to go deliberately forth and try to lift with one's sympathy the gloom of somebody else."
- Arnold Bennett
