Dear Barb,

You are in my prayers. I will continue to keep taps on you
and pray for you. I have not been posting regularly, but I
want to remedy that in the future. This forum has given me
so much in hope, and faith and love, that I hope to give back,
even when I am dealing with those difficult moments. The
Venerable Fulton J. Sheen exhorted us to "never waste suffering".
I am not sure of exactly what that means, but
I think it means just placing all of my worries in God's lap
and trusting that He has my best interest at heart, and the
best interest of all of the people that I care about. And the
women on this forum, and their caregivers are definitely people
I care about greatly. I am learning to thank God for every day,
and not wishing that any part of it was different, somehow. I am
also proactively seeking to change what is right and good for me
to change, and that means seeking my own healing and cooperating
with all of the treatment and praying for myself and others. I am
finding that the more that I can "get over myself", the happier I
find myself to be.
I am so grateful to be part of this forum. May peace reign in your
heart and overcome all anxieties. God bless you. ~heart~
