A Fun Family Outing
As soon as all the snow melts and summer arrives in Colorado, I hope we can have more fun times like this.

About Me

I am a brilliant creation of the universe formed from the cosmic protoplasm sailing into eternity. I have two hands, two feet, a couple of great ears, and I'm clipping through life at a moderate pace; minding my p*s and q*s, crossing my t*s, dotting every i.

Me too.
Lovely lasses.
So glad you caught this one, tseka.
Also wondering about your beloved aunt, for some reason this has come up several times in past few days. You all stay in touch?
That's interesting. My aunt had a stroke and apparently is barely functioning, but it doesn't seem to bother her Taurus self. she was at the last reunion ready to continue.
But I'll call my sis and see what's up since you mentioned this. No! What am I thinking? I'll e-mail her right now.
The good part is that the year of pain from her shingles is over. I've always known that what goes on inside of people is impossible to know. So the thought of living in this condition is aborrhent to many of us, but perfectly acceptable when we get there. This always has amazed me. The power of living.
BTW, Donnie's Dad is improving.

Isn't it true.
There was a study done which asked the person going through the really worst chemo therapies their opinion, could they, would they do it again? The preponderance said yes it was doable - not that bad.
The same questions were asked of the loved ones who watched the process. They answered negatively, no would not want to do this again.
This has always intrigued me. I know witnessing these things is often worse than experiencing them. There is something inside that colors the sensations, I think, when the will to recover is there. So many interesting responses at play.
We imagine not being able to handle experiences and yet when we get there, we do it. This is one of the main reasons I don't predict. The bad things aren't as bad when faced. Differnent functions come into play as we meet these events and handle them successfully. The fear of anticipation is one of the worst.
My cousin is on her second cancer with much worse chemotherapy, but there was never any question about doing it, and enduring whatever it takes to recover again.
It's amazing, the human wiring.
Also, the pain is part of healing and many things go on inside that have to do with memories and deeply held angst, that those on the outside can never understand. I'm horrified at the brutality of cancer treatments, but I know that they serve a purpose.
Even surgery is an extreme solution, violence to the self, but is intrinsic in all people's cultures as part of the eventual relief.
