In Sickness and In Health

Maybe this sounds like a load of bunk or just some meaningless words on a page. But I assure you that I have been where some of you may be right now. Everyone's life is vastly different with very unique challenges that we cannot compare. But the one thing that joins everyone on the planet is our capacity to feel. Sometimes this means we feel pain. Half way across the world right now....someone is crying. A person you have never met is grieving. Someone you do know is struggling and feeling absolutely alone. The beauty of the Internet and especially sites like this is that we can find each other despite any distance between us. We can find each other and reach out a hand. We can reassure one another that this pain does not have to last forever. Those of us who have been through this can say, "I have survived and you can too."

Keep writing.

Keep reaching out.

Keep searching for the meaning in your life.

And when you find it...share it.

Here is to health and wellness! It is just within our grasp.

Peace and Love,

Hi, MM, it is good to see you.

You are missed a lot!

I hope you find out what is going on soon with your health, and it is easy to address and you feel better soon.

Hi MM,

I am happy to know you are alright. I am glad you are back.

Sometimes we get our information on a need to know basis regarding our purpose in life. Work with what you have and trust God for the rest.

Hi MM,

Sorry you're feeling so horrible at the moment - and that there are other compounding issues. I, too, am feeling unwell right now, but in my case I believe it is just some sort of bug that will pass in a few days... I hope you get to the bottom of your illness so can work at getting better asap. And thank you for touching in to let us know how you are going when you have so much to deal with - it can be hard to find that sort of time.

Thinking of you and hope you feel better soon.

I'm glad you posted here today. And I hope you get well soon cause being sick really really sucks.

One of the worst things in life are the little bugs and glitches programmed into our bodies. And one of the best things is our resolve to push through them. Sometimes we do it so well that we fix ourselves and those around us.

I had just posted a question a day or two ago to find out where you were, what was going on! I'm sorry it wasn't because you were in the Cayman Islands or in Venice. So sad that it's because you are ill. Take care.

You have been missed. I find your words both enlighting and soothing.

So here is a wish that whatever is bothering you, is treated soon. Plus some others needing care in your family, that's alot going on.

Thinking of you,
