"Why can't you put lids back on properly" Larry said as the bottled of water spilled all over me
I thought to my self I don't know
Why do you believe in flying saucers and I believe in angels?
Maybe angels fly around in flying saucers and we are both right.
In a perfect world maybe we would all agree
but that would be preety boring.
Wisdom is asking questions and waiting for answers.
Admitting what we do not know but willing to learn.
.Jesus said where two or three agree there is the beginning of wisdom
actually he said I will be there.
The spiritual path is learning to live humbly with our own imperfections
and the imperfections of others. Asking myself what do I have to give
to make the world a better place?
There is a time to share but also a time to keep the sacred secret
until the time some one wants to hear.
We only see a little of the Light and when we come together and listen
to what others have seen we all gain and the Light becomes brighter.
The secret is to live in the moment and be thankful for all the people God brings into our lives.
Hopefully we can turn our negative thoughts into positive healing attitudes.
We are surrounded by wisdom.
I love finding quotes or simple sayings
There are so many books I would love to read
and so much more to learn.
Each day now as we go to the Cancer Clinic we see fellow-travellers
who know what we are going through.
I feel a bond with the other wives as they wait to greet their husbands
with a smile when the treatment is over.
This is one of the blessings of an imperfect life.

Falling
TWO HOURS AFTER THE DOCTOR SAID NOT TO MOVE HEAVY THINGS (BY LARRY)
NO ONE SAID I COULDN'T CLIMB TREEHOUSES
NO ONE SAID I COULDN'T CLIMB TREEHOUSESDo you fall a lot the nurse asked before the bone ex-ray.
Well no I said although I have the occassional tumble as I climb over the rocks in my garden.
It gave me something to think about as I was being gently pushed into the depths of the big white machine that would be taking pictures of the radio acted fluid in my bones. The shot did not scare me but going into this tube had me very fearful.
I had been given an Ativan, that I could take by my friend Jane ; but I decided to be brave especially as Larry and I would be going from there to the Cancer Clinic to have his radiation treatment, and I am the designated driven if he feels too tired. So far the tiredness hits me about an hour or so later.
Yes, I have had some memorable falls.
I fell when I was skipping rope in front of my girlfriends house when the axe her dad was furiously trying to chop down a tree in their front yard came flying through the air to gouge my leg cutting musles. Shock is an imaging thing because I did not feel pain.
I was very fortunate that it was not worse. I was quickly picked up and carried into the house and my parents came running from near by. Off to the hospital I went to be stiched up.
Another fall I had was when dear Larry pushed me over at the skating rink so that he could get to meet me. We went to different schools but all the schools could skate on Friday afternoons. Well, that was certainly a fatefull fall, as we ended up falling in love.
I fell walkimg down the street, or I actually slipped, when I was going to visit an older lady. That ended up in a broken elbow bone that was extremely painly. Fortunately I managed to get up, after throwing up, and make my way home. I got a hold of Ron who got in touch with Larry. He came home and Theresa went with us yo the hospital where I had a cast put on.
Just recently I fell in front of the church went I went up for prayer for one of my grandchildren who I was concerned about at that time. I tripped over a cord on the floor. I was embarrassed but prayer is extremely important in my life so it was worth it.
I have felt the "high" of the mountian top
but also the low of the valley.
It is very easy to fall spiritual if your faith is built on the high.
I have been warned not to move furniture and not to fall.
I am trying not to fall and am moving only very light things.

My birthday party - july 25 Benjamin and Morgan being a big help!
I feel so blessed to have such loving children and grandchildren and of course Great Grandchildren. The amazing thing is that they have taught me to love myself. I hope they all find joy and peace that flows from the heart of God to us all.
When I looked at the first picture of Matthew I thought how wise he looked. I wonder what he could tell us?
The Day after Matthew born
Every baby is a miracle and these tiny little ones fill our hearts with wonder.
Now we have a new grandchild Matthew in Melbourne and we are thrilled and excited for his parents. When it seemed that the C section was taking too long; actually it had not started I said I'll just have to go there. Larry said don't worry I can find the hospital and find out what is happening and he did. Very soon we had the good news. Life is good!
