Subtle differences

Subtle differences can easily go unnoticed. I suggest that we pay more attention to them.

Did you know that the word for marry in Swedish is "gifta"? (pronounced yifta). The word for poison is "gift".... something to ponder about the derivation of words.

There is a difference of only 1 letter between winner and wiener. Think about that when you think you've picked a winner, you may have misspelled your selection.

I note the above not to scare or encourage bitterness. Just make sure you think before you act, and buy yourself an updated dictionary.

Which one of your children has CF?

Hey there! My 12 year old daughter. I quickly checked out your site and shared with her the advice you gave that teen who didn't want to do her treatments. It really had an impact on her, she's been doing her TOBI every day this month! Thanks! Gotta go to a staff meeting, but I'll be following your blog and keeping in touch. You're a great inspiration!
