Hello my fellow survivors. May God shine His light upon you and may you spend every day knowing you are loved.
I hate winter, everything dies and is gray and dismal. I spent the winter on a therapist’s couch and being depressed. But today I road in the sun and felt the wind cut at my skin, and I was healed and happy. I caught fourth gear and wound out my trike. Find something to be passionate about!
Find a place in your life that is not about this disease! Find a special place that you can go and be…be whatever you need to be to bring you peace.
I am sorry I have not posted, but I have read and prayed and hugged you all and loved you because you have given me back a spirit of survival and a desire to fight and be passionate and alive.
Thank you…
Mac

Hey man! What do we have if not passion and love?
The questions are now over.
Stay up. Don’t worry about not keeping up with the blog-a-holic deal.
It just might mean that you have a life…..
Word!

Hi Mac. Glad to see that your tricycle is moving up hill. I know what you mean about depression. A friend of mine is going through a real breakdown and is near suicidal so she says. Anyway I never really thought that I was anything but going along for the cancer ride, trying to be brave and not worry others. After hearing her story though, I got to thinking maybe I am a little depressed and I am not acknowledging the fact. So now I am taking stock of my feelings and trying to be real with them. I am always afraid and it usually hits me at night when I am supposed to be sleeping. NOT. So now I take a sleeping tablet just to help me in that regard. I suppose I should get a tricycle like yours and do some power cycling. That might help. I love to swim so I am joining our local community centre where there is an olympic size pool and jacuzzi. Anything to keep active. I should feel very lucky at this point and well I do. But once you are diagnosed with Cancer it just never really leaves you the same as before. So now I just figure I am in an elite group that constantly amzes and inspires me to be grateful for every day. Thanks for your prayers to the group. I know it really means so much to so many. Keep up your progress reports as we all want to know how each and every one is. Weezie from Canada eh.
Mac – you rock! I am so glad you are a part of this community. ;-)
Hey man, I just gotta drop by your (not so recently updated…rib-rib) page and say thanks for the comments man!
Your insight is very much in tune with our vibrations and state of being. Intuition you trust rugged one? (Asked in a Yoda voice)
Word Up brother! The little ones being here is such a sunshine injection it’s the RADDEST! I’m gettin the photos together right now so stay up, there are some good ones!
For NVC information peep their DC site capitolnvc dot org, or just get yer Pirate booty to the bookstore/library and get Marshall Rosenberg’s book titled “Non Violent Communication” (this is the pop off book but any others will give you an idea, he’s a positive man) the biggety bomb. A bit of a tough process but once you have the opportunity to see some videos (You Tube It) and if you’re lucky maybe there are folks practicing in your area that you can talk to and/or observe the way it’s process is structured. There may be parts of it that seem “Cheesy” or “New-Age/Hippyish” but for me they have ended up being useful tools to role model the types of behavior we display/have programmed ourselves with and the potential that is within.
Great to have you as a SUPER-PORTER!
Nuff Respect and Love!
