Relate to the beautiful picture you painted with your words of isolated on an island of pain, sickness, etc. How true, how true. I miss your voice and thought of you and your family on Holocaust Remembrance Day. I hope you are feeling better now. did you go the Advocate
Forum in Chicago? Love ya!

I feel blessed that I got to choose it instead of it forcing me to choose.

But aside from doctor appointments and once going to see my parents, I haven't been out of the house for quite awhile. I need to be gravel free so I can enjoy the spring I love so dearly, and get back to LIFE! I know I will get there. I have patience.

Thanks, dear friend. I love your yoga truths. xo

Go slow, read a good book, take time for yourself. Remember, as we say in yoga, "your body is your temple," and you need to take good care of it. Be well.

Because look at you. You just lost your beautiful and much beloved mother, yet you still find time to leave much such a warm and wonderful comment for me. Thanks so much, my friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I know it has kept you from doing some long planned things. I'm always amazed by no matter how life knocks you down, that your sweet, strong spirit shines through. No doubt it is what makes you such a strong compassionate and empathetic woman. Hugs to you.

I finally see the sun breaking through, and I love the sound I'm hearing of lawnmowers because I know that FINALLY spring is upon us!

Thank you for your kind words. Only someone else who suffers chronically can know what it's like to travel down that road. Your words of encouragement are truly inspiring. Thanks my faraway friend! xo

Some days all I could do was lay in a dark room too muddled to even think clearly, let alone put words on paper. What I have found is that after a horrible setback, if I can hang on and ride it out, when I am feeling better, I am filled with a burst of creativity and appreciation. I wishing that for you dear friend...there will be brighter days ahead...sending extra special hugs and sunshine from Switzerland.

What I am experiencing now is nothing compared to what you had to endure. I hope you are on the other side of wellness now, in remission and feeling fine.

I've spent a lot of time at Sloan Kettering with two family members dealing with cancer. I HATE cancer and will keep hope in my heart that money and research go hand-in-hand to finally find a cure for all cancers.

I am sorry that you ever had to deal with this. You are a beautiful person and I wish you only the best from here on in.

Big hugs~
Cathy

I can identify. I had 10 breast cancer surgeries and 8 rounds of chemo. At times, I thought it would never end. Actually my blog, tomorrow, is about just that and how the wildflowers helped me see past a body that was bone tired from breast cancer. I have not doubt that you will get there as well.

XOXOXO,
Brenda

You and I have seen our share of illness and I appreciate you sharing your sentiments. Thanks for your friendship and good cheer. I will be thinking of you.
