Re: From the CBS Early Show Do you agree with this thought?
I can't stand this kind of statement. I am constantly being told that I am doing so well because of my positive attitude and the way I have continued living my life. Well..my attitude is not always positive, it has been along the way very gloom and doom. And I have had no other choice but to live my life, some point along this journey, I decided that I had better start living because I could be dead tomorrow...not really all that positive really. Another thing I hate hearing is along the line of "If you just believe, God will heal you". I always feel like saying "so I get sick again it's my fault, because I didn't have enough faith". Michael Douglas is far from being able to say that he positively beat this and if it does come back are they going to then retract their statment and say, he wasn't positive enough. ..sherryg
