So sorry Mel, my prayers are that you have found that peace you wanted with your mom and that now she is in the presence of God.

Just being yourself makes you the coolest person you can be. Trying to put on a show and act like something your not just makes you look insecure and foolish.

I totally agree, they are just trying to ruffle feathers and everytime we get involved, they get what they are looking for. I hate to see any of you being sworn at or abused in any way.

Look out the window and admire the morning view.

Well, yet another great advisor steps up to the club! Thank you ed shank for all the time you have spent caring.

Wow, life has a way of changing. I pray for your healing and strength through all that has come.Being you are such a caring person I am sure you are surrounded with love and support from family and friends. Don't be afraid to hold them close and lean on them when you need the strength. Cancer is not always a means to an end but an awakening to all the things we seem to miss in our rush through life. Keep your faith and know God has not and will not turn His back on you. My dad is a survivor of cancer but through everything he kept a positive outlook and literally blew us all away with his love and inner strength. Meditate on your health and visualize the cancer cells shrinking away, your body filling with the healing love of God. I feel in my heart that you are going to be okay, it's going to be a bumpy road but you will be a great example to those close to you. I want so badly to reach out and give you a hug and take your pain and worry away. Sending you love and light.

The true language of love, that without judgement nor contempt.

Rick....sadly the famous words..."I think there for I am" really stand true in life. If you think you can't do something then it becomes real. Is there no way that you can set small goals to perfect one thing at a time with your job? Can it be a challenge rather than something you allow to beat you up. I am a single mom with two boys that don't appreciate anything I do no matter how much effort i put out to keep our heads above water. I know what it's like not to feel appreciated. About the car...so what if it's twenty years old...you could be riding a bike instead, you already have more than some people have. I'm 42 and still pay another mans mortgage, I could look at my job and feel I could have been more but instead I learned to like what I do and do it well. I have nothing really but the pride in who I am in life. The truth is that it's not what you have in life, it's how you went about getting it that makes you a good person. I know what you are saying about feeling like the future is bleak but it's always bleaker for someone else. There is much love for you on this sight and I'm glad you feel safe in reaching out to your friends. Thank you for letting me have the honour of holding you up. Much love and a long hug...Lora
