Thought for the day....... "How do the geese know when to fly to the sun? Who tells them the seasons? How do we, humans, know when it is time to move on? As with the migrant birds, so surely with us, there is a voice within, if only we would listen to it, that tells us so certainly when to go forth into the unknown." Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

Lightfoot,
Choice words of wisdom, I LOVE it.
A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words". Unknown
Words not from a popular known source..... It's just from me.
"Today may feel like the last day of your life.....Tomorrow can be the new beginning.
Scrape, dig, crawl, cry, laugh, believe in you, question all oppositions.

Scrape, dig, crawl, cry, laugh, believe in you, question all opositions, love life, love you, love those that are ignorant, move on and on with your last leg forward....
YOU are the most important part of your healing.
Many of you may say "I have already done this"
Well......Do it again and again. Believe in you. Leave nagative remarks at the door.
Get alkaline DRINK WHOLE LEMON JUICE EVERYDAY.. Do not go crazy on a yeast free diet. Just eat right! This is a automimunne disease. We loose all sorts of vitamins and minerals. NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT ANSWER.
When you try to eliminate certain foods/or add certain vitamins.... you are leashing out against all odds. Expecting...hopeing for the best outcome. Did they know? Are they doctors? Are they insurance specialists and if so.... could they have saved my life, could they have saved me money?
Doctors...as we know them. We expect them to have the best knowledge. We forget they are human too. Are we getting what we think is the best?

Follow one example one step at a time. If it does not work in 30 days give it up quickly and go to the next. Don't loose time.
This is so messed up. Foolow YOUR instincts. Doctors...as we know them. We expect them to have the best knowledge. We forget they are human too. Are we getting what we think is the best?

here are some good quotes already here...but I can't resist adding a few more: two touting diversity and one relishing "doubt".... "that low kinds live without!" Quest.
You don't get harmony when everybody sings the same note.--Doug Floyd
Greetings, I am pleased to see that we are different. May we together become greater than the sum of both of us.--Vulcan greeting
I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything and there are many things I don't know anything about... -- Richard Feynman (1918-1988)

Blessed With Stress
Those few who're stressed beyond what's fair can find a strength in struggle's lair can come to know a deeper care and realize things they're want to share.
For like the tree our spirits grow towards nearest light we come to know past any force, however slow whatever vessel guides our flow.
The quality of light we find - the nutrients our roots can bind - the space where branches unwind - is most determined by our mind.
And that is where we differ most for other trees this planet hosts and why we're so darn quick to boast the spirit of a Holy Ghost.
When really we're just nature's leap- a brand new niche she's found to reap- a fresh step in her subtle creep towards forms of life that she can keep.
And that is why she loves to stress those beings who have been most blessed for it is they that she has guessed who'll find the path to save the rest!
