Gratefull for...........................
Okay here I am no hair. No pretense nothing to hide behind except a little fringe at the front.
I am not feeling chic or refreshed nor do I feel glamorous.
The last few days have taught me its only hair though.
When you cant get out of bed you have a little time to reflect.
Good things come to those who wait and I believe the harder the journey the more appreciation you receive.
You can decide to wallow in self pity or be grateful for what you have.
I am the latter.
I am so grateful that maybe not to today but maybe tomorrow I will get up and out of bed without pain..
I can still walk even if I am weak, others will never have the strength to take that step.
My head hurts when I open my eyes and the world is blurry but I am grateful because maybe not today maybe tomorrow I will see clearly again others may not.
My hair is gone now but maybe not today but soon it will grow again.
I have memory lapses now, my body aches my hands quiver and the bathroom is all mine and I am grateful.. It will get better, for some it may not
I have hope of a long life and healthy future others don't and so for that I am grateful.
I have never been one to say why me, oh whow is me. I am a get up and get on with it kinda girl. Don't stress about what you cant change, just do your best in what ever situation your thrown in to I wouldn't be given something i couldn't handle.
This hasn't been thrust upon me by my being a bad person.
Bad things happen to good people in which they have no control, acceptance of this and doing your best is sometimes all you have.
To me....... I can see the sunshine through my window in the morning and the light of the moon after the sun goes down.
I can hear the footsteps of my girls up the stairs and the warmth of their hug as they hold me in their arms. Each night I lay in the arms of the man I love while he sleeps feeling his heart beat alongside mine beating as if their one.
I am grateful for small mercies.
Peace and Health All XXXX

Love your words and the verse.

Love the short hair! I know what you mean about not feeling glamorous or chic or refreshed- I didn't feel any of those things when I cut mine off. I miss it- my long blond hair- it made me feel pretty.
I give you peace and strength girly! :)
with its clever perspective, your photo shows us 2 sides of you but i still feel like i can't see you! i need to see your lovely eyes for that :)
the haircut is soft and lovely and i like it :)
but most of all your strength and selflessness is admirable and awesome and i dig you a lot :)
love ya mamma,
Vx

I love your possitive attitude and strenth.
Nice shoulder to "wink"
Take care
Oh sweet you. I know you don't like short hair, but it looks really really cute....and your health...oh goodness, you are remaining so positive despite all that you are going through and I have to tell you that I just don't know if I could/would be so strong. As always, I am in awe of you sweet beautiful lady. You are a hero...and don't you ever ever forget that.
Love to you...xoxoxo
