Editor’s Note

“All you need is love.” John Lennon
Couples or friends often find themselves in somewhat of a rut, always doing the same activities and finding the routine boring. These habits are hard to break out of and often a small surprise, a change from the ordinary, can be exciting and very much appreciated!
Do something unexpected and look for the smiles. Do you always want to stay home because it is too much effort to go out? Be the one to suggest a night at the movies or a restaurant. Look in your local newspaper listings for festivals or displays that either of you may have an interest in. Let the people in your life know how much you appreciate them by doing something that might be an effort for you because you wanted to make them happy.
We are excited about the revised format to our newsletter and hope you will be too. A lot has changed since we published the first issue of The Pulmonary Paper in 1988. We have to take the good with the bad but are grateful to still be here with your generous and continued support.
I hope you continue to be the best that you can be in 2014.

Congratulations to my youngest son Julian who recently got engaged to Ashley!
