A lot of friends from Facebook post notes about Cancer and other diseases with the footnote íf you have lost someone to Cancer/this disease, share it'. Of-course, I respect people's sentiments about losing someone. Like everyone I have lost people, to untimely deaths and to horrible pain. I acknowledge and feel the power of healing through condolences, kind messages but I don't see the point of sharing a note. At the end of a crappy day (or a wonderful one), what helps me is to read a blog like I am sharing here. Nothing and nothing compares to the helpless feeling of losing control on your body. I read about soldiers losing limbs, people dying young and worst of all people waiting and praying to die because its so painful to live. There is so much which can go wrong with our body and if we have that working for us today, everything else can be handled. I feel grateful for my health , my family's health today and as long as I have that blessing, I feel like I can conquer anything.
Excerpts from this brave girl's blog (and I find wisdom in these words even if the Cancer is replaced by whatever problems one is going through in life - physical or emotional ) -
Today I’ve decided that my challenge will be to develop a new brand of acceptance. You can’t fight your way out of every problem. The solution is not to charge full speed ahead. Sometimes you are poisoned in order to be cured.
Sometimes you need to accept and surrender to the fact that, at least for the time being, you can’t change your reality as quickly as you’d like to.
Acceptance is not giving up — far from it. But like a prisoner in handcuffs, you only waste precious energy by trying to wriggle your way free.
