A Brand New Day

A Brand New Day

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MY CANCER

When you awaken in the morning and see the brightness of
the morning sun,
Lock the door on yesterday and throw away the key.
For the Goddess and God have given you a brand new day,
Another day of love and laughter.
Seize each moment before it flies away,
For sweeter than the fragrant flower is each precious golden hour.
Make today your best day,
The power is yours alone.
Make today the happiest and the best you've ever known.
Yesterday is gone, as in a dream,
Tomorrow is a vision still unseen.
Today is yours to live,
It's treasures you can use.
It can be your best day,
It's up to you to choose!

Thank you All


What a bad day So Many Loses
I'm trying to be strong but my outlook is so bad

Love to All,~EL~

Lady, that is beautiful! I'm going to print it out and post a copy of it on my fridge. It's something each one of us needs to remember every day.

I know you're trying to be strong, and my spirit and the spirits of the other women here are trying to come to your aid. I feel so helpless...but I will not give up hope and I will not stop praying.

Love, Anna

I think I understand. I think you believe you know what will happen and you've accepted it. I think you've had a sign of what is to come. Am I right?

Love, Anna

Well, Lady, I have great respect for you and your beliefs. I wish I could give you hope, but I can at least give you a shoulder to cry on and a spirit to help you find your way. I'm always here and I'm thinking of you.

Love and hugs my kindred spirit,
Anna

Hello lady....what a strange and scary place you must be in my dear lady, have courage.the journey ahead of you will be hard, but all roads lead home,and all will be well...there is no end....only cycles. One thing I have truly learned from all my religious and metaphysical enquiry is that there is no ending,we just travel round and around...every will be be ok....brightest blessings,blessed be, and merry meet again.

{{{{{{{{{{Ladies}}}}}}}}}}},

I'll bake a big chocolate cake for the first one of you that kicks my skinny butt for getting on the pity potty............

How dare I?

My own poem says it best .

I'm sorry to have brought you all into the miserable time I was having yesterday but the bet still stands....

Let me have it ..
best butt kicker wins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Much Love and Thanks,~EL~

Hi Lady,

I am so glad that you're feeling better this morning. No one can fault you in the slightest for feeling sorry for yourself for being in the position that you are. But, all we have is hope. And I, and the rest of the ladies here, have loads of hope that things will work out for you. You have many positive and strong spirits hovering over you right now, so hold on and you can get through this.

Thinking of you...

Hugs and love,
Anna

You are a very special person Lady. This is a very nice poem also. I dwell on the past alot and must remind myself that tommorrow is gone and today I must live. I am sending you a great big hug and prayers. In these tough times you learn to cherish every moment you have. You are an inspiration to me and im sure others to stay strong and have faith. Thank you for that beautiful poem Lady.

Lady,

Doesn't look like you're going to find any 'butt-kickers' here! You might just have to eat that chocolate cake yourself!

But, if you want a little kick - here goes. You know you are strong and smart and you know you can get through this. I refuse to accept that you'll give up the fight. You must fight, you have to fight. Now up you get, go out and buy yourself something nice today and then read your poem again and you go, girl!!

Hugs and love,
Anna

What a beautiful poem. I am going to share it with my sister who is in remission from cancer. I wish you could meet here, she has the best outlook on life. Yes, she gets down sometimes but she is grateful just to be alive. There is something about the spirit of a person who suffers with this kind of thing, it grows in a different way than others. And I see your spirit doing the same.

I hope you are having a WONDERFUL day.

Re: A Brand New Day

Prayer:

Goddess of love, honor and hope. Grant my wish of needing help. Guide me through this time of need; this time of loneliness and despair. Heed my call of wishes. Love me as I love you. Grant my wish of protection and lead me to higher ground.


Blessed Be!

I will be saying this for you Lady I hope that is okay with you.
