Thank you for your concern!
I’m fine.

I know that people are concerned about me as they now have a more complete picture of my medical issues.
But I’m in a really good place mentally, probably better than I have been for years.

I can take any pain that it throws at me...it was feeling sick all the time that I couldn’t take.
It’s just how it is...no sense fighting something like that...it’s like fighting to change your eye color (sans contacts)...pointless.
Much love!

Let me lnow if you need a healing - I'll try and accommodate.

I kind of know what you mean. I'm having my own fights with myself recently- this is not a new thing. Don't know why I do t just let it go.

Didn't realize you were so sick. Sorry to hear that. Hope all gets better soon. Will be thinking positive thoughts for you.

Thank you both, but really I would rather you focus those energies on those who are in more dire need than I am...I know it’s a bit cheesy and I don’t mean to sound ungrateful - because I really am, nor am I lecturing anyone, this is just how I feel more and more often, I say this because of things like children dying of hunger, women in forced sex-slavery, etc. etc. There are those in far worse pain than I am.

Please give them you attention, not me!
I’m fine...I will survive day by day until it’s my time, then I will be free from any pain I’ve endured.
I earned this pain from helping people...I know that I have made a difference in doing so, I don’t view it as an unjust punishment, but a painful scar I have doing all that I could to help someone else.

But what I’ve done doesn’t define who I am either...not anymore than the pain defines me.
We should give up those labels that we spend so much wasted time trying to live up to or to surpass.
Thank you both very much for your positive thoughts - I DO appreciate it, and think it holds real power.
Much love to you both!

Just compassion dude, I'm not bringing food and drink to your house (sarcasm). Take some of those good thoughts into your meditation and kick this thing out.

I know, I understand...wasn’t trying to sound preachy.
That’s just how I’ve been aligning my mind with these days...it helps to deal with the pain knowing that it could always be worse.
But by thinking in depth about that and frequently, begins to change how you think about yourself and your own situation.
So I’ve been trying not to ever feel sorry for myself anymore.
And I’ve been pretty successful so far I think.

But thank you for the compassion and the empathy.
I will take any good energies you send me and amp them up to resend out anyhow...so let it flow I suppose!
Thanks again to you all!

Fair enough, I appreciate what your saying, but that doesn't mean you can't be vulnerable anytime anymore, (then I would be offended). On the other hand I think I understand the sentiment of what you say. It seems positive and enlightening. Still here for you though.
