I love the thoughts in the Book, "My Grandfather's Blessings" by Rachel Naomi Remen M.D. She has treated countless terminally ill people over many years and her perspective is simply amazing. The thought I want to share today is this:
"Sometimes the very things that threaten our life may strengthen the life in us. Loss and crisis often activate the will to live. When this happens we may grow larger than the obstacles that face us and free ourselves from problems that never go away by living beyond them."
I see examples of this all around me in the group Sister Survivors. Cancer is not something any of us would wish on anyone. It is scary, life threatening and to put it bluntly....no fun! But as I observe the courage of the members of this group, I truly see women who are reaching out to help and strengthen others. Indeed they are living beyond the problem of Cancer and helping others to do the same. My thanks to all of you....You are amazing women.
Much Love.....
