The DNF

Sometimes you don't get the chance. But then sometimes you do, and you get go back and try to finish what you did not finish. There's few things so wonderful, yes?

Thinking Small



New Year's resolutions don't work for me.

They just don't. Maybe it's because they usually involve things I don't really want to do. You know, things like cutting back on coffee or donuts.

*shudder*

Maybe it's because they're no fun to carry out and just seem so daunting. Or maybe it's because they flat-out suck. They're something you know you're going to fail at...

But. They say the best (and only) way change is really incorporated in a person's life is to begin small. Giving up sugar is insane. But I could cut back to one less teaspoon in my coffee each morning this week.

Or. I think I could.

So maybe 2011 will be the year of thinking small for me. One donut less. One teaspoon of sugar less.  One person this week I reach to spread the word about Cavernous Angiomas. The blog is a good place to start. But I'm thinking I should add a link to my email signature. It's small. It's easy. I can do this. It might work, and the changes might stick. I think...

How about you? What are you thinking small about this year?

Congrats.

Let's celebrate! There's now an international patient registry for those with CCMs. YES!! To register, see the latest research news, or just check it out, go here.

And an enormous thank you to those who took the time and effort to do this for us...many donuts we wish for you...and I wouldn't even ask you to share, for that is how much I love you for doing this.
