Its fine with me Suzanne if you want to use the quote I posted from Soraya. I got it from her website - and Im not sure if its OK to post here links to other websites? Can someone let me know if its OK?

Anyway her website is: http://www.soraya.com/index.php I'm sure you'll love her story and beautiful music.

On her website it says:

Soraya: A life of music. A legacy of hope. Read the story of a woman who gave so many courage in the midst of her own life-and-death struggle with breast cancer.

And I got this quote from Leslie! :-))

I don't want anyone to believe that I am a Pollyanna, always chirping about goodness and light. But neither do I want to be a victim, of other people or of circumstance. I rarely manage to be as positive as I wish that I could be. I do aspire to overcome ill health, bad moods, and anger. I am often far from successful. But quotes like these have always inspired me and given me the urge to try to create life the way I would like for it to be. To respond versus react. To deal with whatever comes into my life the best that I can.
Y'all keep the quotes coming.

Leslie

and I just want to say Leslie I love your courage - what you say makes a lot of sense to me. I don't want to be a victim either in life - blaming others for my problems - don't know that I'm there yet though... getting there... oops getting off topic...

I do love this thread - thanks so much friends.
Blessings
