glennie, I really like Carmelita too. He performed that song with Jackson Browne in the 70's.

My husband and I had tickets for two shows - Marc Cohn and Bruce Cockburn. We had to miss both because my radiation was delayed. Once they came around, I was too tired to go. The concert venue was nice enough to give us credit for future shows. We've been waiting for someone we really want to see. I really like Bruce Cockburn and was so sorry to miss him.

Hi Goddesses,
Sneaking in a read while at work...gotta say h i.
Missed a lot...Kath- a birthday?  Wishing you a happy today and year ahead. 
Love the rose....and GmaF, love the photo.  There is so much joy and beauty in those faces!
I, too am happy to see Val here...miss you lots.
FK, hope you are feeling better.
Ducky, oh, those pills...I do feel it I just don't get it everywhere at once.  This week it is my hands...last week my feet and toes...I manage to walk through it but I can imagine how it could interfere on a large scale.

It's getting chilly here...I need more time by the fire.

Hugs to all...
Joan

Hey all you lovey ladies! i was away for a week, tearing up some mountains to look at the view. i fell in the river once, and my phone went swimming twice. kept it off for days and in a bag of rice. it worked! i texted! i called! i looked at photos! all was well, until, after using it to set my alarm to wake up this morning, i decided to take a picture. ooooups. craaaaaap. there was a flash of light and my phone got hot. and now it reeeeally doesnt work.

but i came here to tell you, GOT MY PORT OUT TODAY!!! yipppeeeeeeeeee! it made me happy in a way that the end of all other stuff involved with this CArap did not.

and, after getting home from spending days looking at tall Sequoias, and walking about, and enjoying myself, i got home and even tho it was a million degrees hot, i unpacked, and made ready to have dinner, and realized:

i felt almost normal.

like i havent since this started, and it was really nice. i felt strong and capable. i don't know if this will last, but i am going to try and let stuff go, and enjoy what i can. so at these cabins i stayed at, there was a big steel bell on a stand, and i rapped it with my knuckles, and it gave a pure ringing tone. So the man came out who me and my man went to see, and he said, "go ahead and grab that tree limb to brace yourself, and see if you can push it with your foot and make it ring."  so i did. and pushed, and let it push my foot back, and then pushed again as it moved away from me, three times. And it moved, and pealed loudly, and just once.  and i laughed to hear it! it reminded me of part of a poem-song that Leonard Cohen wrote:

Ring the bells that still can ring

Forget your perfect offering

There is a crack in every thing

Thats how the light gets in

                                                                 peace

Dear Sisters,

I've been away for a long time. struggling with this F**ing disease....not mine, which is stable, but my Baby Sister's. We are both Stage IV, she was diagnosed about six months after I. Hers was already in the liver, mine sitting quietly in my bones. She has had some issues emotional & mental issues in the past. A recent MRI which confirmed growth in her tumor and spreading pushed her over the edge. She has always been a more conservative Christian than I (no offense meant here, please, ladies!  I am a firm believer) but she has come to believe that God causes or uses this terrible disease to mold us & shape us into the people God wants us to be. Her husband (whom I have always been....uhm...not crazy about) is a control freak who agrees with her on the God stuff, decided when she was diagnosed she needed that damn Gerson Diet (I apologize if you have had success with it.) complete with a couple of coffee enemas a day. 

Anyway, I'm sorry for drifting into my anger. Her fear, enhanced by her husbands fear and craziness has collided with her mental illness issues. She has been involuntarily committed to the psychiatric wing of her hospital. Going on two weeks now. I flew down there (N.C.) and stayed for a week but I was exhausting myself and getting overwhelmed. My sweet college roommate came with me. I knew I had to get home to my DH and kids and love & sanity that I understand. I'm crying again thinking about leaving her there. She won't take her anti-hormonal a so the beast is spreading. I can't let myself be taken over by m y negative feelings for her husband. It just all hurts so much. Our parents and brother are both gone. It's just us and I can't fix this for her. 

I thought of you all so often. Of the loving, honest and REAL things you would be telling me. I am home now & catching up on all the posts I've missed. I want to throw the pain, anger and fear into the fire....along with my bro-in-law but maybe I'll wait on him. Thank you for being here for each other and for me. As I've started catching up the strength around this fire is amazing. 

Hugs to you all!!

Virginia - Welcome back to this amazing bonfire.  I am so very sorry you are having to deal with all this.  It must be very overwhelming for you.  It is just not fair that you and your sister have to deal with this damn beast and with such intensity.  You know we are all here to support and comfort you.  Come back as often as you would like.  As for the brother-in-law, go ahead and throw him into the fire if it will make you feel much better.  If you need help with that, just let me know.  ((((HUGS))))
