i was writing a comment ,hit the wrong tab and erased it!!! The gist was about how a friend's mother would call her several times a day with the opening line "Just wait til I tell You". Usually it was something amusing her children, who were minded by her mom ,had done. I think it would be a good opener to shake up the person being called with all of our tales and trials.Im sad that this is occurring for you now .who will car for the carers who are careing for their loved ones? "you wont Believe it!" You dont want to believe it." " I can't Credit it. "

A phrase I was gifted with in my buddhist meditation group recently to work with is "May I care for myself With Ease ." It makes for some small self comfort within myself, when the going gets SO HEAVY. I Love You Onward /Forward.

Oh my goodness. That is just not right. It does beyond define “caught it early,” so glad for that. Sending hope.

Dear, dear friend, you are so right! This is near to impossible to comprehend! It seems the best part is that you are able to know the ins and outs of how to fight it! But in the meantime, please know that you are surrounded with friends who are beaming JOY to you! Love you, dear sister, Carole

NO!!!! I don’t believe it!! &$/@“!:)/

Life keeps messing with ya, but you just keep punching back with your wonderful words and strength and POW—with JOY! We’ve just got to laugh at the absurdities of life, some of us face more of them than others. (eg-YOU) , but then luxuriate in the love, that all of us around you feel for you and your family. As you so, beautifully said, there’s your JOY. 🥰

Aw, Cindy, it is hard to believe. Truly. After all you've been through, this is indeed insult to injury. Please know I've already had you and your daughter in my thoughts and prayers, but I will now be doubling up. Sending white healing light right now through the airwaves to you both. Here's to love, light, and life. Big hugs to you.

Sometimes we can't believe this stuff is real. Can this really be true after everything else going on? I'm so sorry, but your good prognosis and positive attitude will get you through this challenge.

Not what I was hoping to hear about your tests, but glad it seems it comes with a good prognosis. Yes to joy... You're amazing.

Why is it that when challenges are already pushing our shoulders up to our ears, life piles on even more? While you may think you’ve been a town crier motivating people to stay out of town, you’ve achieved the opposite effect. You’ve engaged us in critical conversations we need to have with one another because no one gets through life unscathed. Sending you positive thoughts to put this latest medical issue in the rear view mirror.

This is so unfair. I can only admire your tenacity in holding fast to optimism and joy. That will help get you through. If I can help with anything in your writing world, let me know...
