Hi Ladies,

With all that going on in our lives right now, I am going to start making needlepoint bookmarks and wall hangings.  I need to know all those verses or saying than had inspired, encouraged and made you laugh over your treatment times..  I am going stir-crazy at home waiting for doctors and can't go back to work yet..I need to keep my hands busy. Could you wonderful ladies please help me with ideas

After treatment.....I HAD CANCER, IT DID NOT HAVE ME.

This one from Winston Churchill:

"When you're going through hell, keep going."

Best of luck with your treatment.

That, that is, is.

 A thought I had that helped me adjust to hair loss from chemo:  "There are more important things in life than hair. "  Pleasantly shocked myself for moving to the place where I could actually accept that thought.

Enjoy laughter and pleasant conversation !

Humor, humor, humor: seek it, share it, love it

"What people say you cannot do, you try and find that you can" - Thoreau

 "Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day, saying I will try again tomorrow." - from a plaque I have had hanging on my wall at home

"Losing is not an option. I will fight. I will win." - seen on a Breast Cancer Awareness pin

Always looking for helpful sayings myself.  First chemo next week.  Scared to death.  Not sure I can get myself there.

Ring the bells that still can ring

Forget your perfect offering

There is a crack in everything

That's how the light gets in.
