| MY WORRIES | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In a perfect world, people would never have to worry about anything, except, perhaps, about how to make themselves and people around them happy. Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world and there are many things out there that worry me. This is the stuff that makes me lie awake at night: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| This is my daughter Dani. She's 11 years old, and she was barely 20 months old when she was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It has been a long, tiresome, bumpy ride and I've been close to giving up more times that I care to remember. I'm aware there's a huge debate regarding the best way to help kids with ADHD. For us medication and diet have worked, making the difference between the "won't be able to read or write" prognosis of 1995 to the 5th grader with a B-/C+ average you see in this pic. For more info, check out the following websites. The choices are out there. You just have to find out what works best for you and your child. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Another one of my worries is my own health. Last February I was diagnosed as asthmatic after a near fatal breathing failure episode. Recovery hasn't been easy and I had to make many changes in order to assure that I won't have another attack in the near future. The term "breathing easy" has acquired a whole new meaning in my life. For more information on this topic, please visit the sites of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology and The Respiratory Insitute | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Divorce is nowadays, perhaps more common than marriage itself. Reasons for divorce are as varied as the couples who decide it's the best solution to their problems. I know that when I married in 1992 I was convinced it was forever. The fairy tale lasted only 6 years and I got divorced in '99, after a year of trial separation. If you're in a similar situation, the Divorce Net might come in handy with its legal advice. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
