I will start coming her...

To one and all...from this day forward I am going to do my very best to live and let live. To forgive and forget. LIfe is short. Life is really short with chronic terminal illness.

If I am packing hate and grudges, I sure cannot expect HIM to forgive m...2 Recommendations15 Comments

I am feeling better. It is possible the person did not really mean to hurt my feelings the other day. I am just going to let it go. these days I definitely believe in forgive and forget. As we all know, life is short.
With that said, I am feeling much better mentally. Physically I still do not feel all that great. But truthfully, with all the things I have wrong with me, being both chronically an...1 Recommendation12 Comments -

I wanted to run this by my friends first.
While I was in the Respiratory ward in hospital,part of their regime was every morning and evening
they would bring round in a solid cup or glass, about 4-5mls of Eucalyptus oil in about 100-150mls of hot water, which we would inhale over 10-15 minutes.

I'm not saying this is for everyon...2 Recommendations12 Comments -
I always try to think positive, I try not to dwell on the fact that with age and health we are always changing and the best way to face something is with a poditive attitude. with my family and frinds as my support team, I feel can face any challenge. I started out this morning with a good walk and a lot of serious breathing.1 Recommendation12 Comments
