JULY 9-2015 t

BACK ONCE AGAIN AFTER SOME TIME-SEPT. 8-15

Hi!
somehow, the time flies by. I got caught up with health issues, and decisions to leave the country to vacation, and eventually took the plunge and did.
thankfully, all went well health wise. But there are always, ups and downs in one's body, in one's thoughts, in one's optimism or pessimism. We are but mere human beings, and our bodies grow and wither and hurt and shine as G/nature decides. So I do my best to keep fit, to eat properly, and to think positive. I think that for those of us who have faced serious illness, the fear is always there-before every examination, every instance that we 'feel' something wrong with us. I am trying to teach myself to 'go with the flow'. If necessary, check it out. But hang in there.

to any reader who still logs in after a 2 month absence, I wish you a good year coming up =good health/maintaining your status and looking for the good even if you get challenges (which for sure come).
All the best until next month
I will try to keep this blog up, if not for you, then for myself.

TIME MOVES FASTER THAN I DO...OCT. 2015

Shalom once again:
I can't believe it is so long since I entered a monthly write-up into my blog. Lots of happy occasions and also some very stressful unpleasant happenings. Health-wise, it seems that I have scoliosis of the back, which I may have had for many years, but the pain this past period has been very severe, and had to seek a heavy duty pain killer to manage. But for each ailment that is not cancer, I say
"As long as it isn't cancer, I will manage." Easy said, and less easy to do, but I must or accept defeat and that will get me nowhere.

Wherever any reader is out there, I wish you the strength both physically and emotionally to weather what comes your way. There are many valleys and hills to traverse during this short time here on earth. So let's count our blessings wherever we find them and continue on.

With my war wishes until the next time,
Yours

july 9-2015 TIME MARCHES ALONG.....

SHALOM TO ANY READER AND TO MYSELF:

THANK G. AT THE MOMENT, I AM NOT A CANCER WRITER, FOR THE TIME BEING.
MY FOCUS SEEMS TO BE ON WHAT PHYSICAL AND MENTAL STATE I AM IN. I CALL EACH TRYING PERIOD A 'CHALLENGE', BUT BUT THAT IS REALLY MORE OPTIMISTIC THAN WHAT I FEEL WITH EACH NEW TRIAL. BUT CONTINUING TO LIVE AND ESPECIALLY AS WE AGE, ALWAYS BRINGS SOME PAINS, SOME TRIALS, AND WORRIES. PERHAPS, AND PROBABLY, AFTER EXPERIENCING CANCER, AND SEEING OTHERS ACTUALLY DYING FROM THIS ILLNESS, MAKES ONE MUCH MORE AWARE OF TIME MARCHING ON AND DOING ITS THING, WHICH INVOLVES THE BODY WEARING DOWN.

AND SO, ON THIS SUMMER DAY, I WISH ALL OF US A HEALTHY OUTLOOK, STRENGTH TO COPE WITH WHATEVER LIFE HANDS US, AND THE ABILITY TO SOAK OUT EACH GOOD MOMENT IN LIFE.

UNTIL NEXT MONTH, G. WILLING,
YOURS

JUNE 3, 2015 ALONG LIFE'S JOURNEY.......

SHALOM:

WELL, ANOTHER MONTH WITH ITS CHALLENGES AND TRIALS, AND UPS AND DOWNS. THANK G. TO LIVE AND SURVIVE IT ALL, WITH SOME WEAR AND TEAR FOR SURE. BOTTOM LINE, THOUGH, FOR ME, IS TO FORCE MYSELF TO REMEMBER THAT LIFE WILL CONSTANTLY GIVE ME CHALLENGES, DIFFICULT ONES, BUT TO KEEP IN MIND THAT HOPEFULLY, ALL THINGS DO PASS, AND HOPE THAT THERE IS STILL LIFE AND POSITIVE HAPPENINGS YET TO COME.

I AM WISHING YOU, ANY READER, STRENGTH TO KEEP ON WITH AS MUCH OPTIMISM AND YOU AND I CAN MUSTER AND TO KEEP GOING AS POSITIVELY AS YOU CAN.

G. WILLING, UNTIL THE BEGINNING OF JULY, WHEN WE WILL MEET AGAIN, I HOPE.
YOURS

A BIG SKIP IN WRITING, NOW MAY-2015

SHALOM:

SOME TIME HAS ELAPSED SINCE LAST WRITING.  I WENT THRU' MANY PHYSICAL ACHES AND PAINS, AND LACK OF ENERGY AND SOME DEPRESSION HELD ME BACK.
THANK G. FOR MEDICINES AND DOCTORS!
I KNOW TO REMEMBER THAT 'AS LONG AS IT ISN'T CANCER, I CAN LIVE WITH IT'. THAT HAS BEEN MY MOTTO, BUT WHEN IT'S ACTUAL DISTRESS AND PAINS AND FATIGUE, IT'S ANOTHER MATTER, WHATEVER THE SOURCE. AND SO, I CAN ONLY ENCOURAGE YOU AND ME TO THINK OF THE GLASS HALF FULL. AS YOU WILL NOTICE, I NOW HAVE 2 ENTRIES FOR MAY AS I THOUGHT I HAD LOST THIS INTIAL WRITING. SO BOTH HALVES SHOULD BE TOGETHER.  WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST-UNTIL NEXT TIME, G. WILLING.

from MARCH TO MAY, NO ENTRIES

SHALOM!
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I DIDN'T FEEL ENERGETIC ENOUGH TO WRITE ENTRIES FOR SO LONG. BUT I WAS WITNESSING MANY DOWNS IN MY HEALTH, THANK G. NOT DUE TO CANCER  AND I WAS QUITE 'WIPED OUT'. I NEED TO REMEMBER TO KEEP THINKING OF MY CUP HALF FULL, AND NOT OF THE HALF EMPTY oR 3/4 EMPTY. EASY TO SAY, BUT DIFFICULT TO UPHOLD. AND SO ON THIS FIRST DAY OF MAY, 2015, I WISH ALL OF US A HEALTHY/HEALTHIER MONTH FILLED WITH SUN OUTSIDE AND SUN IN OUR HEARTS, TO BE ABLE TO ACCEPT WHAT WE MUST, AND CARRY ON.
WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST OF A HEALTHY/HEALTHIER MONTH.
FONDLY,
CHW
