SHALOM!
IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO REMEMBER HOW TO GET INTO MY BLOG, THUS THE DELAY.
PASSOVER, SPRING, BRINGS ITS HIGHLIGHTS AND REVEALS MY SLOWER MOVING BODY, NOT BEING ABLE TO DO ALL THAT I ONCE DID, RESTRICTING MYSELF DUE TO FATIGUE, PHYSICAL AILMENTS. but BUT (REPEATED TWICE NOT BY ACCIDENT), I AM STILL HAPPY TO BE ON THAT TRAIN OF LIFE. I DON'T WANT TO BE CAST OFF THIS TRAIN OF LIFE WITH ITS VERY NICE 'HIGHS' AND VERY LOW 'LOWS'. WE ALL HAVE OUR HILLS AND VALLEYS TO CROSS, AND SOMETIMES I JUST NEED TO PAUSE,REST BOTH PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY.
I HOPE THAT YOU, MY READER, WILL FIND STRENGTH TO ADJUST TO WHATEVER STATE YOU ARE IN, AND KEEP PLODDING ALONG, AND EVEN SINGING AND ENJOYING LIFE'S PLEASURES.
WITH MY BEST WISHES FOR A MONTH OF GOOD THINGS IN YOUR LIFE!
HOPEFULLY, WE WILL MEET AGAIN IN MAY!

MARCH 2, 2017 ON THE TRAIN OF LIFE
SHALOM OUT THERE:
AT MY CANCER FORUM WHICH I LEAD EACH MONTH, I HAVE BEEN ASKED HOW TO DEAL WITH DEPRESSION.
HOW NORMAL AND EASY IT IS TO ENTER A DEPRESSION, SHORT OR LONG TERM. WE ARE HURTING, PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, EMOTIONALLY. THESE FEELINGS ARE TOTALLY NORMAL.
SO HOW DO WE DEAL WITH IT?
WHY AM I WASTING AWAY MY DAYS BEING DEPRESSED. WILL IT CHANGE THE SITUATION? WILL IT HELP< YET, IT IS A NORMAL FEELING. WHY WAIT FOR BETTER DAYS? ALL OF US KNOW THAT THIS MOMENT, TODAY, NOW, WE ARE ALIVE, YES ACHING, BUT WE ARE HERE! SO WHAT CAN WE DO TODAY TO ENJOY OUR LIFE? TO ENHANCE OUR LIFE? SOME CHOICES ARE:
CALL A FRIEND/RELATIVE THAT YOU LOVE.
GET TOGETHER TO CHAT, TO LUNCH, TO GO TO A MOVIE/PLAY/MUSIC PERFORMANCE, OR JUST SIT AND TALK OUR HEARTS OUT. WILL WE GET BETTER? PERHAPS NOT, BUT OUR MOOD CAN BE LIFTED EVEN TEMPORARILY.
LET'S FOCUS ON THE NOW! ALL OF US ARE RIDING ON THE TRAIN OF LIFE. AT SOME POINTS OF OUR JOURNEY, WE FALTER, WE FALL, WE BECOME DESPERATE.
BUT WE CLING ONTO THE TRAIN AND TRAVEL ON. LET'S STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES, EVEN WITHIN OUR PAIN! LET'S READ A GOOD BOOK AND ENTER SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE . LET'S GO TO A MOVIE AND ENTER ANOTHER'S WORLD. LET'S LISTEN TO NATURE, TO THE BIRDS, TO THE SIGNS OF SPRING WHICH IS SOON UPON US, LET'S INHALE THE BEAUTIFUL SMELLS OF SHABAT, TO ITS BEAUT OF A 24 HR. PERIOD. LET'S REACH OUT TO THOSE WHO ARE REACHING OUT WITH LOVE TO US!
YES, WE DON'T HAVE IT ALL, BUT WE DO HAVE THIS LITTLE OF BEING HERE . LET'S POUNCE UPON THE GOOD! LET'S SEEK IT OUT!!
LET'S PRAY, LET'S LAUGH, LET'S EVEN CRY! BUT THEN WE PICK OURSELVES UP AND CONTINUE ON OUR JOURNEY OF LIFE!
NO ONE PROMISED US A ROSE GARDEN! WE WOULD LOVE IT TO BE SO, BUT LET'S GRAB AND HOLD ONTO WHAT WE CAN AND HUG, TOUCH ONE ANOTHER, LET'S TASTE WONDERFUL TASTES OF GOOD FOOD, OF LAUGHING TOGETHER, AND EVEN CRYING TOGETHER.
IF IT LOOKS LIKE LIFE IS PERFECT ELSEWHERE , DON'T BE FOOLED. WE EACH HAVE OUR HILLS AND VALLEYS TO CROSS, TO WILL FALTER SOMETIMES, AND THEN WE RISE AGAIN AND SMILE EVEN THOUGH OUR HEARTS MAY BE BREAKING (REMEMBER NAT KING COLE) SINGING THAT THOUGHT IN HIS BEAUTIFUL MUSIC).
LET'S LIVE EACH DAY AS IF IT IS OUR LAST, WHICH HOPEFULLY IT ISN'T.
THE ABOVE IS NOT ME PREACHING TO YOU, MY AUDIENCE, IT IS ME TALKING TO MYSELF AND TRYING TO MAKE THE BEST OF WHAT I HAVE! NOW!
G. BLESS UNTIL NEXT MONTH.

5-2-17 A MONTHLY CHECK-IN OF MY REALITY
SHALOM!
Another month has gone by, and I am thankful of my awareness of my space on the train of life.Have I done worthwhile things to make this world any better? Could I be doing for my health, both physically and mentally? As I meet with other cancer survivors, do I truly act to be my best healthwise? It is so easy to let time slide along, and half vegetate due to fatigue and not put out my utmost. Can I (and you readers) do more to help ourselves both mentally and physically during these winter months when it is so easy to sit back and look at nature around us, and use excuses for not taking a walk or going to a class, etc. I admit to this inertia, and am now taking up the challenge of returning to walking a bit more, to going back to an exercise group and reclaiming my ability to challenge my body and mind.
Perhaps you have felt the same inertia? It is so easy to sit back and say, well, I haven't been well and I am allowed to just sit there in my comfy chair. Let's all take the initiative to better our mood by doing something for ourselves, for others, even if only a little bit. LET'S MOVE OURSELVES!
I wish us all a healthy, healthier February! With love to each of you readers,
CHW
Until next month, G. willing

january 2017, along life's journey
HI THERE!
A MOMENT TO SAY, THANK YOU, UNIVERSE FOR BEING ALIVE TO ENTER 2017. AFTER A VERY DIFFICULT FALL, HEALTH WISE, HOW THANKFUL I AM TO HAVE LIVED BEYOND, AND AM MORE STABLE PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY AND MENTALLY. YET I KNOW, THAT THERE WILL BE MORE UPS AND DOWNS IN MY LIFE. THAT SEEMS TO FIT EVERYONE'S BILL HERE ON EARTH. SOMETIMES WE TAKE THE GOOD TIMES FOR GRANTED AND ARE CRUSHED WHEN THE BAD TIMES COME. TO BE REALISTIC, I NEED TO REALIZE (AND PROBABLY ALL MANKIND NEEDS TO AS WELL) THAT THERE ARE HILLS AND VALLEYS AS A NATURAL PROCESS IN ONE'S LIFE. JUST AS WE SEE WEATHER PLAYING HAVOC AT TIMES, AND ALWAYS HOPING FOR SUNNY, WARM DAYS FULL OF CHEER, REALITY IS THAT NATURE HAPPENS, WITH ITS GLORY AND KNOCK-OUTS.
AND SO I ASK MYSELF, OR TELL MYSELF, 'LET'S GO WITH THE FLOW' AS MUCH AS WE CAN. A POSITIVE ATTITUDE CAN ONLY HELP EVEN DURING OUR VERY DIFFICULT PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL TURMOIL PERIODS. CAN WE FIND SOME SILVER LINING OF GOOD THINGS IN OUR LIFE? PERHAPS THREE THINGS TO BE THANKFUL FOR EACH DAY? OR MORE? AND SOMETIMES LESS.
THUS, AS JANUARY 2017 IS UPON US: LET'S REMEMBER TO TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES WITH GOOD FOOD, GOOD THOUGHTS, GOOD FRIENDS, AND GOOD HOPES. 'WHERE THERE IS LIFE, THERE IS HOPE.'
MY BEST WISHES TO YOU THERE, MY READERS, AND HOPE TO TALK TO YOU
AGAIN NEXT MONTH.
BYE FOR NOW! G. BLESS!

THE FALL OF MY LIFE AND NOV.'S FALL
SHALOM ONCE AGAIN!
I COULDN'T REMEMBER HOW TO LOG IN, AND THUS MY DELAY IN WRITING. A SENIOR MOMENT, AMONG OTHERS!
THANK G. THIS MONTH HAS BEEN FOCUSING ON WALKING WITH A WALKER AND MORE TO A CANE, AND GOING UP AND DOWN STEPS. FEAR MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A DETERMINATION TO DEAL WITH IT! AS ALL PEOPLE TRYING TO OVERCOME AND LIVE WITH A DIFFICULT PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL TURMOIL, IT IS O'KAY TO FEAR, BUT FEEL THE FEAR BUT DO IT ANYWAYS! THAT WAS THE TITLE OF MY FIRST BOOK BY SUSAN JEFFERS: 'FEEL THE FEAR BUT DO IT ANYWAYS". IT REALLY HELPED ME YEARS AGO, AND ALTHO' I FEAR AFTER MY FALL AND HIP OPERATION, I WILL NOT LET MYSELF JUST SIT AND VEGETATE. AND SO, I AM CAREFUL AND THOUGHTFUL, WHICH WE ALL MUST BE, BUT FIGHTING THE FIGHT TO GO FORWARD. NOW IF ONLY I COULD HANDLE THE OTHER SIDE ISSUES ACCOMPANYING MY FALL.
BUT LIFE IS A CONSTANT CHALLENGE TO ALL OF US, IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER.
SO, NOW THAT DECEMBER IS CLOSE UPON US, WITH THE RAIN, SNOW AND WEATHER DIFFICULTIES, THANK G. WE ARE HERE TO HOPEFULLY SEE ANOTHER WINTER, ENJOY WHAT WE CAN, AS WE ARE STILL ON THE TRAIN OF LIFE. LET'S NOT GIVE UP! FEEL THE CLOSENESS OF YOUR FAMILY, YOUR GOOD FRIENDS, OF LIFE ITSELF!
I WISH ALL OF YOU READERS A HEALTHY DECEMBER FILLED WITH WARM THOUGHTS OF ALL THE GOOD YOU AND I HAVE IN OUR LIFE, ALONGSIDE LIFE'S STRESSFUL CHALLENGES.
UNTIL NEXT MONTH HOPEFULLY,
I SAY BYE/AU REVOIR/SHALOM

Along my winding complicated month of octber.s journey
Shalom to any of my readers,
I never believed that i would be of safe mind and body to write once again. Thank g.d i am here to talk to you and to myself. In a nutshell, i have faced such an ordeal and not always with optimism that i always encourage others to have. On the day of my grandaughters wedding, i set to exercise, to facilitate and mentor a ca cer group. To be short, i had an ita mini stroke fell on the road , luckily wasnt run over. Wonderful strangers dragged me off the road ,into a taxi and on to hospital with fractured hip in three places. Spent 3 weeks and then into rehabilitation, and am now somewhat recuperating at my sons home. This truly was one of those low valleys that i found mhyself in. All i could think of was atleast i am still alive. I have this day, this moment to appreciate life, to appreciate the many good hard working doctors ,nurses, kindness all around despite our cries and smells and constant needs. I know that none of us knows when it will be our turn to get off the train of life that we are all riding along.
And so i pray for all of us on our journey of life to take each moment to be thankful to appreciate our loved ones, our friends, our colleagues, to appreciate each and every stranger who risks for us who cares for us. And finally , my readers, help me to remember to smile, things could be worse yet. Let us bless life and savour each precious momentt. G. Bless you all to be more courageous than i have been. But where there is life, there is hope. I undertake to be more optimistic and always appreciative of life.
With my best wishes until.next month g. Willing.

SEPT. 2-16 LIFE'S JOURNEY
HOW EASY IT IS TO WRITE WHEN ALL IS WELL, AND TO TRY TO GIVE 'CHIZUK', ENCOURAGEMENT TO OTHERS WHO ARE STRUGGLING. BUT WHEN IT HITS HOME EITHER PHYSICALLY OR EMOTIONALLY/MENTALLY, AND YOU SEE OTHERS AROUND YOU, YOUR PEERS, YOUR RELATIVES, DEALING WITH REAL HARD CORE ILLNESS AND ADAPTATIONS, IT IS ANOTHER THING. SO ALL I CAN SAY IS: 'THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF G.' GO I.
WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME TRAIN, AND EACH OF US AT SOME POINT WILL LEAVE THIS TRAIN OF LIFE. HOPEFULLY, WE WILL HAVE MADE SOME CONTRIBUTION TO THE WORLD, HAVE GIVEN AND RECEIVED FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE. BUT NONE OF US IS EXEMPT FROM HAVING TO LEAVE THE TRAIN OF LIFE. HOW ABSOLUTELY DIFFICULT TO FATHOM AND TO ACCEPT THAT WE ARE MERE MORTALS, AND NO MATTER HOW IMPORTANT WE WERE TO OURSELVES AND TO SOME OTHERS, THE TRAIN OF LIFE KEEPS CHUGGING ALONG AND DROPPING SOME OF ITS PASSENGERS ALONG THE WAY.
I CAN ONLY WISH AND PRAY FOR EACH OF US TO SOMEHOW FIND A WAY TO ENJOY THE MOMENT, THE DAY, THE HOUR. WE MAY HAVE PAIN, BOTH PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL, YET AS LONG AS WE ARE STILL ON THIS EARTH, TO FIND AND ENJOY THE PLEASURES OF 'BEING'. JUST BEING, AND TO SAY: THANK YOU FOR THIS.
ON THIS SOMBER NOTE, I HEARTILY WISH ALL OF US STRENGTH TO CARRY ON AND TO LIVE AND LIVE THE MOMENT. UNTIL THE NEXT MONTH, G. WILLING,
I LEAVE YOU WITH HOPE THAT WE WILL MEET AT THIS BLOG AGAIN NEXT MONTH.
