Merry Christmas
Hello Everyone,
I don't come around much anymore. I'm trying to distance myself from the cancer road a bit. Worrying about recurrence is something we can all relate too and bombarding myself with "cancer" isn't good for me. I'm sure some of you can understand that. However, I do check in occasionally and care about each of you.
I wanted to pop in tonight to wish you all a Merry Christmas. I hope your Christmas is happy and that your 2007 is blessed with all that's important..........mainly......................... ...the Love of God in your hearts AND His Peace surrounding you all. I sincerely pray that for each of you.
If we've all learned nothing else on this journey I think we've all learned that there are no guarantees in life and we really have no control over our circumstance. We can do our best - learn what we can - but ultimately, our lives our not in our Hands.
So, on that note...............I sincerely wish you all Peace.
Love to all,
Mary Jo

Thanks Marejo. Sometimes I think I should create a little distance but then I can't.
This journey has brought the realization of how much love is out there. I think I'm a slightly better person now.
Love and Peace to all. I hope and believe we are just around the corner for a cure,
Thank you and goodbye to all have gone berore us unsucessfully. BB

Thanks Joe for sharing the story. A reminder of all the good people out their. In the news we too often here only bad. I know there are a lot of good people out their but sadly we don't hear nearly enough about them.
Holds hands - stay close - life is short (as Jan Karon(author)) says.

Thanks Marejo,
As tough as this journey can be, we all have the opportunity to have that glorious hope that is ours in Christ Jesus. All of the uncertainty of this life, all of its trials are so temorary. Because of Christmas, we have nothing to fear.
Merry Christmas!
