This article was written in 2004. Not long after, I left my full-time federal government job for the unknown world of being a freelance writer. Seems that this "power of positive thinking" stuff really DOES work!

The following poem is from a collection of 41 written by me to try describing Huntington’s Disease (HD).

This one was written for a friend of mine who tested positive for the gene. It’s fair to say he has his black days but he is coping with knowing he is HD+ relatively well. The thought he may have unknowingly passed on the gene to his daughter is the hardest part to bear for him.

The guy is HD positive in the best sense of the word. Positive that when his time comes there will be better treatment for him if not yet a cure.

‘Come what may’. When everything fails, a friend brings the best in everything.

My speech on optimism.

Discussions on optimisim and pessimism.

This is what I can do!

A story of the two great spies, Caleb and Joshua.

It’s a small composition that will help you to live better and stay happier..
