    If children
    have the ability
    to ignore all odds and percentages
    then maybe we can all learn from them~~

    When you think about it
    what other choice is there but to hope?

    We have two options,
    medically and emotionally:
    give up, or fight like hell. ~Lance Armstrong

    We're not sisters by birth,
    but we are sisters
    of the heart and spirit
    …our sisters hold up our mirrors:
    our images of who we are
    and of who we can dare to become. -Elizabeth Fishel

    For there is
    no friend like a sister
    in calm or stormy weather

    To cheer one on the tedious way
    to fetch one if one goes astray
    to lift one if one totters down
    to strengthen whilst one stands. - Christina Rossetti

    Quote:

    Don't wish me happiness
    I don't expect to be happy all the time...
    It's gotten beyond that somehow.
    Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor.
    I will need them all.

    Anne Morrow Lindbergh


    I was having a bad day and I was looking through some old posts and I found this one that was posted by Carrie a few months ago. Thanks! I really needed the reminder that courage, strength & a sense of humor will help me to keep going!

    hugs,
    Liz

    Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow. ~Mary Anne Radmacher

    "I had a radical hysterectomy,an appendectomy,and I had about 50 lymph nodes removed. My doctors told me that I would be up and around,feeling fine in 6 weeks. Six months later,I still didn't feel like myself. I thought I was a failure. I thought, I am the worst patient!"...

    Emerging from a battle
    The child in me survives
    With all the hope of everyone
    My soul has come alive

    The journey was so arduous
    But every step I knew
    My horizons would be brighter
    All because of you

    My Heart in life expounding
    With childlike reveries
    Taking me to that special place
    Where children seem to be

    Today I am reborn again
    With life that I will share
    Because of every one of you
    Who helped me through the fear

    And yes I feel the love now
    I've cradled it inside
    Reserving it for someone else
    Who also will survive

    Please know that if you need me
    I will be here for you
    Armed with all the wondrous gifts
    With love that got me through

    Each morning a new presence
    The child awakes inside
    Brought to you with gentleness
    For journey I've survived.

    ~ Francine Pucillo ~
    For those battling Cancer

    we get stronger

    until there is a cure”

    From a distance a mountain may seem an impossible obstacle to overcome.
    From a distance you see only the outline of the mountain and very little detail.
    From a distance you may not know how you will get over this mountain...
    But you must proceed toward the mountain and have faith that you will find a way to get through. When you get close to the mountain, you discover its details...the winding pathways and its slope which will allow your passage...the answer becomes clearer...

    When we honestly ask ourselves
    which person in our lives
    mean the most to us,

    we often find that it is those who,
    instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures,
    have chosen rather to share our pain
    and touch our wounds
    with a warm and tender hand

    The friend who can be silent with us
    in a moment of despair or confusion,
    who can stay with us
    in an hour of grief and bereavement,
    who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing
    and face with us the reality of our powerlessness,
    that is a friend who cares. ~Henri Nouwen

    During chemo,
    you're more tired than you've ever been

    It's like a cloud passing over the sun,
    and suddenly you're out

    You don't know how you'll answer the door when your groceries are delivered

    But you also find that you're stronger than you've ever been

    You're clear

    Your mortality is at optimal distance
    not up so close that it obscures everything else,
    but close enough to give you depth perception.

    Previously, it has taken you weeks, months, or years to discover the meaning of an experience. Now it's instantaneous. ~Melissa Bank

    Sometimes in our lives
    we reach rock bottom

    We experience what we call HELL

    For each of us it’s dressed up differently
    but for all of us it is dark, tough and devastating

    This HELL can be our awakening

    Some people call it a breakdown

    I believe it is a breakthrough
    From “The Pocket Guide To Your Heart"

    What Is Courage?

    Confronting the dragons
    Overcoming the obstacles
    Understanding the risks
    Really living
    Always believing
    Going the distance
    Expecting the Best

    Hope is always
    available to us

    When we feel defeated,
    we need only take a deep breath and say,
    "Yes,"
    and hope will reappear.

    The strongest oak
    of the forest
    is not the one that is protected
    from the storm and hidden from the sun

    It's the one that stands
    in the open where it is compelled
    to struggle for its existence
    against the winds
    and rains and the scorching sun
    ~~Napoleon Hill~~
