From the "What's Good About Having Marfan" series from Marfan-List

1. No one tries to borrow your clothes or shoes

2. You can put things waay in the top back of the cupboard, and they will
be there for you later

3. You can always get the last (raisin, peanut, candy) out of the jar

4. You can see the parade.

5. You can tell people that you are outstanding in your field.

6. You can reach places in those little Japanese car engines.

7. You don't have to bend over to retrieve something. Your toes work fine.

8. Speaking of feet, you always have a solid foundation.

9. The clothes or shoes that are going to fit you at a sale will still be
there when other sizes run out.

10. There is nothing wrong with years of never having to diet.

Thanks, Sally! More to come throughout the day...
