Thank you for sharing the good news dear Susan.
Do pick up your artwork again, it will be good for you.

Healing is progressing well. Your body is starting to feel good agai. Soon everything will be back to normal.

I love the poem:

Gossamer threads falling

From the Heavens, Cooling, Soothing,

Healing

Thank you all! I even managed to get to sleep by 2am. I got my days and nights swapped around last week when I was sleeping so much. I came out of it thinking I was supposed to get my night's sleep between 4 and noon! That's bad enough in the summer. When it gets dark so early in the fall and winter, I feel cheated! The doctor's office is getting me a new prescription for sleeping pills, but it won't be in until today sometime. I tried Valerian capsules and they worked!

Dear Susan,

Thank you for keeping us informed. The news is all getting better. Soon you are perfectly healed.

Valerian capsules are amazingly good. They will give you a good night's sleep.

Thank you for the poem and do go back to your artwork.

Cancer...
Unwanted guest...
Taking over my life...
Trying to steal my hopes and dreams...

BEGONE!
~~~~

Funny...

The news was bad...

Cancer--that awful word

that strikes such fear into the hearts

of all that hear it, and yet, instead of

fear, I found peace and love and prayer,

and joy in simple things.

Now isn't life

funny?

Dear Susan,


.Sending prayers and healing thoughts.

If you can pierce the mask
of disease and contact your inner
self, even for a few minutes a day,
you will make tremendous strides
toward a cure.


Any cell, tissue, or organ is
capable of crying out for attention,
and when you give it some, the
healing process begins.


We have a pharmacy inside
us that is absolutely exquisite. It
makes the right medicine, for the
precise time, for the right target
organ-with no side effects.

Dear Susan,
Good morning. Starting the day by sending you healing prayers.
Keep up your spirits and know that you will be healed.

Love,
Sue

Sending many more healing prayers for you this morning.
Keep positive thoughts and get enough rest.
Sleep is a wonderful healer.

Love
Vicky

Thank you all. Your prayers help so much.

Inda, I'm going to copy that quote from Deepak into my journal.

Well, not only am I writing poetry again, but today I started some paper mache projects. One of them is rather large. A "pottery" jar big enough to hold umbrellas and walking sticks. Since you can only add a layer or two a day, this could take a while.

Dear Susan,
I can't wait to read your poetry. Share it with us before you fill the big container.

Sending you healing and positive energy.

Love,
Sue

Dear Susan, I am happy to see that you are writing and doing your artwork. Keep at it. Continuing to send you prayers for a quick recovery, and for the cancer to disappear completely.

Love
Vicky

Dear Susan,

My healing prayers for you continue.

It is wonderful that you are writing poetry and doing artwork. I used to write poetry myself, but have not done so in quite a while. I am looking forward to reading some of yours.

Love,
Gisele

Dear Susan,

I am glad that you liked the Deepak Chopra wisdom.
Here are a few more quotes by Dr. Deepak Chopra:

The physical world, including our bodies, is a response of the observer. We create our bodies as we create the experience of our world.

We are not victims of aging, sickness and death. These are part of scenery, not the seer, who is immune to any form of change. This seer is the spirit, the expression of eternal being.

You and I are essentially infinite choice-makers. In every moment of our existence, we are in that field of all possibilities where we have access to an infinity of choices.
****************************************************

I am really happy that you are writing poetry and doing artwork; as Sue mentioned, just don't bury all your poetry into the gigantic item that you are creating, otherwise we will never be able to read it.

Continuing to pray for your rapid healing.

Love, Inda

I posted Cancer, Begone! and Funny....earlier.

Rain and Cancer, Begone! are Cinquains and Funny is in Rictameter. Carly over at Chopra got me to writing in these forms and I've really been enjoying it.

I posted Cancer, Begone!

Dear Susan, cancer Begone.

Love,
Sue

Dear Susan, Good morning. Please keep enjoying yourself, keep doing all the things that you love to do. Sending much positive healing energy.

Paper mache

Vicky, tht is adorable! Thanks for posting it!

Dear Susan, your poems are beautiful! I have never done a cinquain or a rictameter.
How great that you let your wonderful creativity surface, that is perfect to accompany the healing process!

Always keeping you in my thoughts and heartprayers.

Love and hugs.

Dear Susan,
As Margherita suggested, it is really wonderful for you do creative things. I love what you have written and I am sure that doing all kinds of art is very healing.

Here are some floweres for you in a pretty handcrafted vase, and other nice jars.

Love,

Dear Susan,

Keep on doing the things that you love to do best,
as you body is constantly healing.

From: Journey into Healing
By: Deepak Chopra


Health and disease are connected like variations on one melody. But disease is a wrong variation, a distortion of that theme.


Before the art of medicine
comes the art of belief.


We are the only creatures on earth who can change our biology by what we think and feel.


No healing can occur without compassion. It inherently motivates the body and arouses the desire to get well.


The use of love is to heal. When it flows without effort from the depth of the self, love creates health.


To cure disease, I have to change the cellular memory of the disease-and that comes by transcending all emotion, all thought, and by becoming the silent witness of the process.

The higher self is that place where everything is accomplished by doing nothing. A mere desire becomes the trigger for transformation.


In mind-body medicine, any explanation has its roots in an earlier stage, in the moment when the immune system was weakened by a negative mental influence.

Getting well does not need struggle. There is no enemy within. Recovery lies only at the level of being.


If I find a green meadow splashed with daisies and sit down beside a clear running brook, I have found medicine.

The higher your energy level, the more efficient your body. The more efficient your body, the better you feel and the more you will use your talent to produce outstanding results.

Anthony Robbins


Keep on doing your artwork dear Susan.
I found a paper mache plate that may be a nice thing to do.

Love
Vicky

Thank you all. And Vicky, it looks like I have to figure out how to create a form for a plate. lol The plate you posted has given me dozens of ideas!

Dear Susan, keep on doing the artistic work.
This creating of things that you enjoy is a wonderful healer.

"The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work."
- Emile Zola (1840-1902)

Here is one for you ;

paper mache

Dear Susan,
I am very happy that you are doing artwork and writing poetry.

Here is a sculpture by a very famous artist, Giacometti.
It really does not seem very complex.

Just adding to the dozens of ideas



Love,
Sue

Hey! That bird (pheasant?) is wearing my boots!

Thanks for all the ideas. I'll try not to lose them in that big umbrella stand. lol

Dear Susan, now you know where your boots went.
Now try and catch that bird.

I found some paper mache boots, so maybe the bird will return yours.

Sending you positive energy for the weekend.

Love
Vicky

paper mache

Have a nice and relaxing weekend dear Sue.
Keep doing what you love to do.

Sending you healing energy.

Love,
Sue

I had my main treatment Tuesday. The one where I am at the hospital until 8pm. Slept most of yesterday, but I feel pretty good today. Maybe I won't lose so many days this time. My body may have just needed all that sleep last time because it had to acclimate to the new treatment. Besides, I went into it pretty tired.

If I get the time, I may get back to my paper mache today. I know having it out is driving Billy crazy. But he has been a sweetheart about it. He knows it is good for me. Wish me luck on shaping the top of the umbrella stand.

Dear Susan,

I am very happy that your treatment did not affect you so badly this time. You probably really needed a lot of sleep. These treatments weaken your body, so you need a lot of rest. Continuing to send you healing energy and wellbeing.

Wishing you luck with the umbrella stand. keep doing your art, it does help to speed up the healing process.

Some painting may also be fun. When the umbrella stand is finished you might paint it with some simple flowers or anything else that you like.

Some of these oriental flowers are quite easy to do. Here is a little sample;

Have a nice creative and relaxing weekend.

Love,
yoko

Oh Yoko! Those are beautiful. I may attempt something like that for our bedroom. They would show up so much better there. The living room is more Southwestern. Actually, I've nicknamed it Taoswestern since it is a rather eclectic mix and Taos, New Mexico is a rather eclectic town. lol

Actually, Oriental art would be especially appropriate right now. I have been studying some Buddhist tapes by Gil Frondal this week. My daughter is Buddhist and I decided it was time I learned a bit more about it. Carly, the same friend that has been encouraging my writing kept talking about these online tapes she had been listening to and posted the site for me. It has not only been interesting, but they also give me a great feeling of serenity. I've been listening to the series on Refuge, Stream Entry, and Bodhichitta. Not sure what I'll listen to next. I really like his guided meditations.

Dear Susan, do indeed what your heart desires, that's important. And whatever contributes to your serenity!
May you succeed in shaping, creating and decorating your umbrella stand just in the way you have it in your mind. There is such satisfaction to create such artistic objects and then look at them with a proud feeling of realization.

May you feel well, dear friend!

Lots of love and hugs.
Margherita

Wow, I found this Swiss site of peonias, while searching for a picture for you.

Amazing beauties!

See this one:

Love, Margherita

Margherita,
Those ARE beautiful! I've been blessed with beauty all through this cancer experience. And the best thing about it being online is they never fade!

I've been doing the Buddhist studies because Shawna has converted to Buddhism and I wanted to know more about it. It is amazing how the Buddha's teachings are so similar to Christ's teachings. Well, maybe it isn't. The Truth is the Truth. I'm learning some new meditation techniques as well, which help a lot. I had been having trouble meditating since they started me on chemo--too many drugs interfering. And Gil's voice is very soothing. He sounds like such a peaceful person. A lot of times I put one of them on when I am having trouble sleeping. It helps to quieten my mind and I drift blissfully off to sleep. I think that is also helping me to remember the information. I usually play the one I have been listening to that night. Not always as some of the discussions are livelier than others. lol Those keep me up! Especially if he is in one of his joking moods.

I'm beginning to feel good enough again to start back on my paper mache. They gave me the cisplaitin last week and it is harder on me than the one I will take this week. I try to remember that the nausea and exhaustion only last about a week, but I do have days during that week when I get really discouraged. Then, when it starts getting better I look back and think, now what were you so upset about? But mostly, I just take it easy, read, play on the computer, and sleep tht week. By the time this is all over, I won't have to sleep again for a year! Just imagine what I'll be able to accomplish!

Dear Susan,

My prayers for you continue.

You are absolutely right:

. By the time this is all over, I won't have to sleep again for a year! Just imagine what I'll be able to accomplish!

You will not need to do this



Have a nice day.

Love,
Sue

Dear Susan,
Good morning.

I will continue to pray for you. You will be healthy and feeling well soon.

Margherita's flowers are beautiful indeed. I can just feel the fragrance; and you are right, they will never fade or disappear.

Love
Vicky

Dear Susan,

Joining in healing prayer for you.
Wishing that your treatment will not cause you to be too exhausted this week.
Soon it will all be over and you will be completely healthy again.
Do continur with your artwork, it helps the healing process.
Meditation is excellent for you.
