APRIL 5-2011 CONTINUING TO HOPE

Shalom! With spring almost here, and the passage of time giving me hope to keep going, I am managing better and always hoping for the best as I keep my appointment check-ups along the way. I am finally more of a human being, albeit the fatigue which accompanies me, although to a lesser extent, and the foot tingling, which seems to continue for years possibly. With all of that, I can manage. I even have more optimism-the weather, the nice people I choose to be with and associate with, the angels who have been sent to be there for me, the courses I have opted to take and teach, it all adds up to a type of retirement /active life of sorts. I have taken lately to write in my blog and abundance journal more of my feelings and even some prayers of my own. I hope that any reader is coping as best she can with her challenges. I enclose now my latest prayer that I wrote for my cancer group of study.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

I am bewitched and bewildered As I ponder my life.
I feel life's beauty and love Amidst the 'tohoo vevohoo' all over the lands.
My spirit and soul within me kvell
While my body's beating has knocked me thru' hell.
I want to live with simcha, regua, tikva and purity-
Yet my body made of dust has responded to my teumah
- Having gone thru' fire, death of a sort, despondence, depression- You name it.
I am struggling in the depths of water to stay afloat.,
to breathe in the good, to
o breathe in the love that somehow is there within all this up and down life.

DEAR UNIVERSE-
Grant me the courage to accept what I must- To ride the waves-
And the wisdom to follow my heart's will -
To live and to shine and to give and be still.
I rejoice to be born anew today and to be part of this world.
Bless all to find peace of mind, peace in body,
The ability to accept others and me 'as we are',
Each with our similarities and especially with our differences.

Good morning, world! Here I am!

Until the next time that we meet on this blog, Refuah Shlaimah to each of us!
