Am I living in spite of illness

[angeldancer]

I am living in spite of illness.  I am trying to smile and laugh and genuinely making an effort to give kind words to those people that are hurting.  Moving through the pain and agony take a conscious effort.  I want to be the one again that helps people and I know it will not be the easiest to do in my condition but I sure would love to teach, babysit, give lessons.  I guess it would be crazy to try that now but it will happen because my desire is to be in the midst to help listen and to love on people.

Hopeful and living in spite of so much.

My very dear Angeldancer,
You are already doing just that. You do it here.
Hugs, Sharon

It is difficult,  I know, but you're being refined in the fire. When you come out, you will be purified for a new work of beauty. As Sharon said, you are already doing that here and now, a living testimony to so many. We take turns in this seat of pain... some of us in life. Rest in the fact that it's a work in you, as it is happening.  It is your time to rest and recover.

Grace and peace,

~Andrea

I so very totally agree with Sharon - you are doing just that here - it may seem like you are not "doing for people" or "loving on them" as you have done in the past, but you truly are.  It is often difficult when you are restricted and cannot do as you had - I feel that way often just with sjogrens I cannot imagine how you must feel some days...you are a real trooper - someone to look up to and admire.

Do not be so hard on yourself and do what you can while taking care of yourself.

Hugs

I'm new here but I have a suspicion you have spent your whole life being kind to others.  Now it's your time to be on the receiving end. 

Hugs from a stranger.

Yes, she HAS spent her whole life not only being kind to others, but giving beyond most people's capacity in time, love, wisdom. 

And she still remains positive, as she works through the chemo treatments, which her insurance won't cover!!   Angeldancer, you are a remarkable woman. I'm praying for you and I can't wait to see you again.

[angeldancer]

Thank you everyone for your words of wisdom, kindness and support.  I can move and breathe and now I am trying to exercise.  I will dance again.  I acknowledge I am just a mere mortal moving and flowing with the tides.  God has looked over me for many years and I am truly blessed.  I thank God for you and I continue to send wonderful peaceful thoughts your way as we all take this journey of life.

Love you all,
Angeldancer
