back from vacation

Hi Jamie..great to hear you enjoyed yourself. On the "in limbo factor"...31 years of married life here has me thinking that all the things that have happened to us are meant to be and a part of our destiny.If you recall early in 05 I was really worried about Jen's job(our sole income) and all you guys n gals came to the forefront with well wishes and prayers. In the end Jen changed jobs thru necssity and really looking at it now her old job being made redundant must have meant there was another road for us to follow. In fact her old business really did her a favour. She has a better job and really enjoys it. The window of opportunity opened and she took it...she went with her gut feeling.Of course not always things work ut that way but over the years I think we both have seen a pattern to the way things happen, good and bad.
Jamie.....you may not have control at the moment but maybe for you things will work out ok too. Try not to stress too much because your health is the single most important thing right now.I got that from good advice........you guys!
It is real tough to try and chill...I should take my own advice too.....whaaaaaa!
cheers, Ross n Jen

Jamie -

Being both a Virgo and a military officer, I can say I have walked the control freak path. I've given it up since I was diagnosed. The reality of the matter is, God (or however you refer to your Supreme Being) is going to move through you as God sees fit. Let go and move with the flow. It will add years to your life and life to your years! I'm not saying become a fundamentalist or be born again, I'm just suggesting that things are going to work out their own way in their own time and we waste so much precuious life and energy when we try to control things that are beyond our scope.

Have FUN and LIVE life!

Cheers

And Jamie...just tah add a little quote or two. These 2 statements I like.
Billy Connelly(he is another biker too);
"to old to die young"
and,
Our bike club motto;
"growing old disgracefully"
I like both of these 'cos they are humorous but at the same time remind us that sometimes we need to slow down and take stock, smell tha roses, so to speak...take a deep breath and then really think about another great statement, ie;
from our mate Bob; "I'm just suggesting that things are going to work out their own way in their own time and we waste so much precious life and energy when we try to control things that are beyond our scope."
huggs again Jamie, Ross n Jen

ps...Bob...couldn't help but spell "precious" for yah...lol!
