Quench

Wonderful pearls of wisdom from my blog friend on Cast Light

“Abundance is a process of letting go; that which is empty can receive.” – Bryant H. McGill

We thirst when we are surrounded by water. Look around and see what’s already holding your hand, sitting in your lap, standing right next to you. Our spirit gets dehydrated when we don’t recognize the abundance that is already present, longing to be seen.

We don’t need more, we need more gratitude for what already is. The futile search in the distance, in things, in others will continue to lead us to the desert, dying of thirst. Drink up and quench that longing deep inside with what is present right now.

“Let's choose today to quench our thirst for the 'good life' we think others lead by acknowledging the good that already exists in our lives. We can then offer the universe the gift of our grateful hearts.” – Sarah Ban Breathnach “Let’s choose today to quench our thirst for the ‘good life’ we think others lead by acknowledging the good that already exists in our lives.

Movie “A Green Journey”

a-green-journeyI watched this movie, it is about an aging school teacher (the great Angela Lansbury) at a Catholic grammar school in Minnesota questions her life’s existence when she battles a new bishop (Robert Prosky) She decides to retire and moves to Ireland where she seeks her pen pal and admirer (Denholm Elliott) who she has been writing for 5 years.

This film was a good chick flick and love story but I have to say I wan’t really too happy with the ending! I won’t spoil it in case you want to watch it yourselves.

I adore Angela Lansbury and like to watch anything she is in!

Stand By Your Man…..

Here are some words in Tammy Wynette’s song that I love….

Stand by your man, give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely.
Stand by your man, and show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can.
Stand by your man!!YellowBloomBeautytulipsI wrote this poem a few nights ago for my husband…

Battling depression
and trying to be strong
Trying hard not to cry
But keep smiling and go on!

Hubby needs my strength
and strong I shall be!
To help him through tough times
through his cancer care treatments
and recovery!!

He’s getting very tired
yet he keeps hanging on
Trying to live his life as best
as he can, he keeps going on!

He’s a hero to me…
for all he’s been through
He has a good out look on life
and he still believes in God too!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We found out today that my husband’s Hairy Cell Leukemia is definitely back and he starts treatments next Monday. They are going to be starting a new type of treatment in a few weeks so hopefully that will give him better results on keeping his Leukemia in remission.

After all that he has been through it makes any problems that I have had in my distant past seem trivial!
