the meaning of life and remembering all we ever really have is this moment

I think that Joseph Campbell put it best:
"Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning."

To All Who Read This:
You are love and you are loved. You are heros and you have heros. Today is what it is, a moment in Time where we beautiful souls come together and share our light. Peace and Hope fuel this luminous glory that is the Human Soul.

May this moment, these words bring you calm and peace. Breathe, slow down and just take a few moments to breathe. Relax and let go for just a moment all the fear, the pain, the anger, the sadness and Smile from deep inside and let that light fill each one of your cells with healing beauty that only light can bring.

Think about snow gently falling, silently, so delicate each unique crystal landing atop the last with grace and ease.

Say and repeat today, I am Love, I am Peace, I am Healthy, I am Joy. Believe and know you are loved and cared for by all who visit.

Dear Kitten, You are so beautiful and lovely,use your computer to visit meditation sites and let your mind go to calm peacefulness away from the hospital environment as much as you can. You deserve a mental vacation~ : ) xxoo terry

    Kathy,

    I talk to Kitten on another site, I don't believe she is ready to talk about things right now, she has alot of decisions to make with her family.

    Please say HUGE prayers, and when she is ready she will leave a post.

    Thanks

    I'm here!
    Just not posting as much, I have a lot going on and am just really exhausted. I've had a ton of visitors in the hospital, and honestly haven't gotten on the computer as much as I was getting on. I'm hanging in there. The pneumonia's getting a bit better, but I still have to have my chest tube and ng tube to drain everything, so not too hot in that accord. But, I'm still fighting and hanging in!! :0)

    a song for you Miss Kitten xxoo ~smiling at you from slo~
    someone once told me
    that you have to choose
    what you win or lose
    you can't have everything
    don't you take chances
    you might feel the pain
    don't you love in vain
    cause love won't set you free
    i could stand by the side
    and watch this life pass me by
    so unhappy but safe as could be

    CHORUS
    so what if it hurts me
    so what if i break down
    so what if this world just throws me off the edge
    my feet run out of ground
    i gotta find my place
    i wanna hear my sound
    dont care about other pain in front of me
    cause im just tryin to be happy, yea
    just wanna be happy, yea

    holding on tightly
    just can't let it go
    just tryin to play my roll
    slowly diasappear, oooh
    well all these tears
    they feel like they're the same
    just different faces, different names
    get me outta here
    well i can stand by the side
    and watch this life pass me by
    pass me by

    CHORUS
    so what if it hurts me
    so what if i break down
    so what if this world just throws me off the edge
    my feet run out of ground
    i gotta find my place
    i wanna hear my sound
    dont care about other pain infront of me
    cause im just tryin to be happy
    just wanna be happy
    oooh

    so any turns that i can't see
    i'll count a stranger on this road
    but don’t say victim
    don't say anythng

    CHORUS
    so what if it hurts me
    so what if i break down
    so what if this world just throws me off the edge
    my feet run out of ground
    i gotta find my place
    i wanna hear my sound
    dont care about all the pain infront of me
    cause im just tryin to be happy
    just wanna be happy~

    You are in my prayers and thoughts everyday, I am here in this cyber world asking the angels and god and all your relations that are surrounding you with love to hold you close and heal your body, bring the light of healing into you. Breathe sweet Kitten, you are a fighter with the grace of an angel. It's your life, you are the one going through the pain and you know your body better than anyone. Stay true to you~ all my love, Terry

    Never place a period where God has placed a comma!
    Cathy,

    Good hearing from you. I pray today is a better day for you.

    I'm not going to ask any questions. Just want you
    to know you have another mom praying for you. My babies are boys 22
    & 26. They could NEVER do what you are doing!

    You will get over this set back. The tubes are doing their jobs and
    will disappear. The fight will go on!

    Who's doing your hair & make-up?
    Who's the poem & song dude?????

    Keeps life interesting:)

    hair and makeup
    My head is shaved, so no hair-doing necessary...it was coming out in chunks with my last round of chemo, so we shaved it. If I feel like being "cute" I throw a hat on. As for makeup, don't bother with it while I'm in the hospital. :0) Take me as I am! ha
