SHALOM!
EVERY 6 MONTH CHECK-UP HAS ITS TENSENESS AND APPREHENSION. BUT THANK G., SO FAR, CANCER IS IN CHECK. IF I HAVE LEARNED ANYTHING FROM THIS EXPERIENCE, IT IS TO BE MINDFUL AT ALL TIMES AND AWARE AND THANKFUL OF EACH MOMENT. MY IMMUNE SYSTEM IS STILL VERY LOW, AND I SUFFER FROM SKIN AILMENTS NON-STOP, BUT AS LONG AS IT IS NOT CANCER, I KEEP GOING, ALTHO' IT IS NOT PLEASANT.
I AM SO PLEASED TO BE HELPFUL TO OTHER CANCER PATIENTS, AND TO ANY READERS, I WISH YOU STRENGTH AND HOPE TO CARRY ON.
UNTIL NEXT MONTH, G. WILLING.
C.H. W.

APRIL 28-2013 THANK YOU UNIVERSE FOR THIS MOMENT OF TODAY
SHALOM TO MYSELF AND TO ANY READERS:
HOW thankful I am to be alive, to know that at any time things can and will change for better or for worse, but to have today, this moment to appreciate my health, my life, this world. Age, health issues, maturity, knowledge from learning and experiencing have taught me to appreciate each moment and to know that I and I alone must take responsibility for my physical body-in the food i inhale, and the exercise that I pursue. I am aware of the responsibility to take charge of my mind-to think more positively, and less fearfully and to 'stay away' the demons that are there in the background, waiting to appear once again-the demon of death that hovers around each one of us. But for this moment, today, thank you Universe, G.d, Nature for all that I and each one has. My best wishes to any of you out there.! Until next time.....

APRIL 5-2013 MY UPDATE FOR MYSELF ALONG MY JOURNEY OF LIFE
SHALOM!
I HAVE GONE OVER THE MONTHLY TIME TO WRITE, DUE TO PESACH AND BUSINESS OF LIFE. I AM WRITING BEFORE MY CHECK-UP NEXT WEEK, WITH THE HOPE THAT ALL WILL BE CLEAR AND FINE FOR NOW ONCE AGAIN. 3 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD, AND FINALLY, I CAN SAY, THAT THE UTTER FATIGUE HAS LESSENED. THANK G. I DO TIRE SO EASILY, BUT CAN EVEN VENTURE AN EVENING OUT MORE OFTEN. I AM SO VERY MINDFUL AND THANKFUL OF WHAT I HAVE, AND WHAT CHANCE I MAY STILL HAVE TO BE A PRODUCTIVE PERSON HERE ON EARTH. PERHAPS MY ILLNESS IS TO TEACH BE TO REALLY BE AWARE, BOTH PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY AND SPIRITUALLY OF WHAT A GIFT WE HAVE TO LIVE LIFE AND TO CONTRIBUTE IN SOME SMALL WAY TO THIS WONDROUS WORLD. THERE IS SO MUCH EVIL AROUND AND SICKNESS AND DARKNESS THAT WE MUST SEEK OUT AND ENCOURAGE ALL THE GOODLINESS THAT WE FIND AND CAN POSSIBLY CREATE. I AM WISHING ANY READER OF MY BLOG A RECOVERY, AS MUCH AS CAN BE, AND POSITIVE THOUGHTS.
G. BLESS ALL OF US. UNTIL THE NEXT TIME-SHALOM.

FEB. 28-2013 MY MONTHLY CHECK-IN
MY MIND REMINDS ME TOWARDS THE END OF EACH MONTH TO WRITE AN UPDATE. I AM CONSTANTLY WRITING MY FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS IN POETRY AND PRAYER IN ANOTHER FORMAT, BUT FEEL THE NEED TO KEEP UP THIS LEDGER AS WELL. THANK G. EACH MEDICAL CHECK-UP SEEMS TO INDICATE THAT ALL IS WELL, CANCER -WISE. BUT I AM QUICKLY REMINDED BY EITHER BY ONCOLOGIST OR MY SURGEON, THAT NOW 3 YEARS LATER, NOT TO BE FOOLED. THERE IS NO CUT-OFF DATE FOR BEING 'SAFE', LIKE 5 YRS. SEEMED TO BE. JUST AS CANCER STRUCK ON A NORMAL YEARSLY MAMMOGRAM DAY, SO IT CAN RETURN. AND SO I KEEP ON LIVING, PANICKING WHEN MY BODY SEEMS TO BE CAVING IN, BUT RELENTLESSLY FIGHTING ON, AND AT THE SAME TIME, BEING SO VERY MINDFUL WITH THANKS FOR 'UP TO THIS MOMENT' RELIEF. I WISH ALL READERS TO WORK ON BEING UPBEAT, HELPING OURSELVES BE POSITIVE AND DOING POSITIVE ACTIONS OF CARING FOR OURSELVES.
OUR LIVES HAVE THE CONSTANT UPS AND DOWNS, AND NOTHING IS PERMANENT, AND CERTAINLY NOT HUMAN BEINGS. SO G. BLESS ALL OF US.
UNTIL NEXT MONTH-
LOVE

FEB. 6-2013 LIFE AND ITS CHALLENGES
SHALOM!
THANK G. MY PHYSICAL TESTS ARE COMING BACK O'KAY. EACH ONE HAS ITS FEARS ACCOMPANYING IT, BUT AM ALWAYS THANKFUL. I KNOW I OFTEN THINK THAT IF I HAVE NO OPEN SIGNS OF CANCER, THAT LIFE IS PERFECT, BUT LIFE'S CHALLENGES KEEP COMING. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OF THESE 'CHALLENGES' LATELY, AND AS STRESSFUL AS THEY ARE , I CALL THEM MY 'KAPAROT' AND SAY TO MYSELF AND TO OTHERS: 'AS LONG AS IT IS NOT CANCER, I CAN LIVE WITH IT'. WELL, I AM BEING GIVEN MANY KAPAROT, AND HOPE THAT I CAN GROW IN MY EMUNAH TO TRUST THAT SUCH IS LIFE -WE ARE UP, WE ARE DOWN, AND THAT IS PART OF LIFE'S EXPERIENCES. I AM SO PLEASED THAT I AM AND CAN BE OF SOME SMALL HELP TO OTHERS WHO ARE SUFFERING. I KNOW THAT A LISTENING CARING EAR IS SOMETIMES AS MUCH AS AN ACTUAL MEDICINE.
UNTIL THE NEXT WRITING, I TRY AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH TO WRITE HERE, BUT DAILY I KEEP UP WITH MY DIARY OF ABUNDANCE AND MY OWN PRAYERS.
G. BLESS ANY READERS AND ALL OF US.
