Hopefully A Long Running Series
Life goes on until it doesn’t
One year
two years
maybe three
No use bemoaning what will be.
Embrace, accept, rejoice in the time I have now.
Yet,
Sometimes it’s especially tough,
The medicine’s just not enough
retreat
Lay still
Meditate and breathe
Slow down!
When pain persists through long long hours
Hot pad and pot try out their powers
Relax
Give in
Don’t move
Resolved: I’ll have to give this time away And still be grateful for the day.
Hi Deb, Julia here.
Another day slipping away from me. There is no doing. I can only be.
It’s not that I can’t accept it. This is not my decision to accept. It is there, It is existing, apart from me and from anything I may want.
I tell body that I’m taking care, the best I can. I tell mind to rest.
Sometimes that works.

There is no substitute for having a friend who is going through or gone through whatever we are going through….What I mean to say is that I am super appreciative to be able to talk “cancer” with you. We are comrades in arms. Thanks for the comment!
