Reading your post brought back a saying I saw recently and just thought I would share. It simply said *Lord, Thank you for this beautiful life and forgive me when I don't love it enough." Hope your day is filled with sunshine and peace.Angela Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259497363075016359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454681134490849977.post-63091323796966037842014-07-21T20:35:14.042-07:002014-07-21T20:35:14.042-07:00Praise God from whom all blessings flow. your sto...Praise God from whom all blessings flow. your story is inspirational. very thankful for your beautiful art and blogsuzannepaintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784251112574065627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454681134490849977.post-43722892923313012622014-05-31T07:01:05.607-07:002014-05-31T07:01:05.607-07:00It's great to hear from you, Marilyn. Not hear...It's great to hear from you, Marilyn. Not hearing from you in so long had me worried. But I'm glad to know you are with us and still striving to appreciate each and every day you have.<br /><br />It is all too easy to compare your health situation with those who seem to face similar conditions. I'm not sure those comparisons are helpful. Each of us, in our own bodies and spirits, are unique. The disease you face has been met with treatment and optimism. <br /><br />My grandfather is 95, nearly blind and deaf, but healthy other wise. I was there for his birthday where he said something to this effect:<br /><br />"Each day your eyes open and you find yourself awake is another day of blessing. All you can do is be happy and be thankful for THIS day. No sense of being unhappy or miserable."<br /><br />What a great attitude!<br /><br />Life life to the fullest, Marilyn. Quantity doesn't matter. Quality does. Love. Friendship. Companionship. Self-fulfillment. Do the things with each day with a zest for maximizing your happiness as well as you can. That is the best you can do. With God by your side, with you, filling you with love, too, is a stream of hope as well.<br /><br />I said a little prayer for you that God provide you with relief, healing, and the opportunities for enjoyment. I'm so happy you are with us. Your blog and story here is courageous and inspirational.<br /><br />God bless,<br /><br />Bob.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
