MARCH 20-2011 ALONG LIFE'S PATH

Shalom!

After a 3rd injection into my shoulder, I finally am beginning to feel like a normal human being. Living w. pain is no picnic, and I am once again ever so thankful for improvement.
At times now, I am having an almost normal day without the extreme fatigue. But I am learning more and more to pace myself, and not to overdo it. Since I get up so very early automatically, I have learned to go to bed much much earlier, almost like a child does.

As life comes each day, how thankful I am to face another day and aim to speak to and surround myself with positive people, positive thoughts and keep my space far away from the negative ones in my life.

I wish every reader good vibes and feelings and the ability to cope w. what one must. I have adopted after much good readings and talks the following key words for me:

HOPE DIGNITY ACCEPTANCE REFUAH (HEALTHY RECOVERING) NATURE

At this point, I am adding on a prayer that I wrote for our cancer group as a personal prayer, other than that in our daily prayer books.

RIBBONO SHEL OLAM

Whatever/wherever You are
I thank You this moment
For this new day in which You star.

Nature-its beauty, its peace
I wonder in delight at the hope that it feeds.

My hopes start anew for a day filled with strength
To do good for us humans that You
Wondrously created throughout this whole long length.

Do help me to know how to use the skills that I have
And let me 'IN YOUR IMAGE' be a helping hand.

My challenges continue to be many
And I continue to turn to You anyway.
Bless us who are ill in spirit and body
And make our paths as light as You possibly can.

May your Refuah give us dignity and grace
As our unique journeys continue their pace.

I thank You again for this moment of renewal
May Your grace shine on all of Klal Yisrael.

'MIKOL HALAIV' I will try to be 'there'
Wherever and whenever to whomever I can.

We are made in Your 'image'
Help us to shine and not to do damage
To your beautiful world
Where mankind and creatures alike
Sing your praises both morning and night.

Good morning Hashem! Hallelujah!

As You shine Your peaceful presence
Help us to find some peace for our aching
Souls and frames
So that we too can lend a helping hand.

BOKER TOV WORLD-HOW HAPPY I AM TO SEE YOU AGAIN THIS DAY!
