THIS!

Be good to yourself! There is so much shit we put up with from other people because we feel like we have to! NO YOU DON'T! (Unless of course you're a minor still living at home, and then you do have to follow your parents rules, which you might consider bullshit!!) Otherwise, we all deserve to be treated with at least a small bit of kindness. And sometimes that kindness is in the form of separating from those who do us harm...physically, mentally, or spiritually. It can be hard to do sometimes, but the inner peace that comes is beyond wonderful! Doing it applies to all areas of our life. Look at yourself first, and see if there is something you've done that brought it on that could use an adjustment, but also ask if you'd be better off without "it." Get that second opinion if you feel that doctor is not a good "match" with you. Look for another job if you're feeling used and unappreciated. Get counseling if you feel it necessary, and then appl...

I Won!

Image
I am now 12 years out from being told I have Stage 4 Metatastic Breast Cancer! Prayers of gratitude go out and up for this many times each day. Along with the gratitude, though, comes a weird sense of fear. I am not afraid of death, just how it's going to happen! Those headaches...is it because of the weather, or has it spread to my brain? The shits...was it something I ate or has it spread to my colon? The medicines we take for years after chemo and radiation come with their own side effects, limiting things we can do. Crazy things like getting osteoporosis from menopause and all the hormone blockers, so you take meds for that which then limits the dental work you can have done, and you get eczema, too. BUT...I am breathing! I woke up today! I can go out and do something if I want to, and will still try to be home by 1:00 to watch General Hospital! I can still tell people to "fuck off" if that's what I'm feeling, and that brings me much joy! I am grateful!!!

Philomena Cunk's Moments of Wonder - Philosophy

Image
I had a professor way long ago who would say that "The only dumb question is the unasked one." I get it! The whole of Philomena Cunk is full of questions being asked that make the watcher ask "Huh?" She is a character that only the staunchest education snob can't laugh at. And for me trying to get more education, I am continually asking myself "why?" Why am I doing this? What the hell was I thinking? Am I nuts? Why am I not more disciplined/organized? Why can't I figure out how to get the video on here? Why am I beating myself up about this? Should I just quit? I think in various forms we all ask the questions of, and about, ourselves. We want to make a difference. But how do we know if we do/did? Is it something that can be known while we're still alive? Do people only make a difference once they're dead and others start looking at what the person did in their life? Does smiling and saying "hello" to the stranger matter to them...

"A sense of humor is just common sense dancing." William James

I hate computers! I am trying really hard to laugh at all of this...myslef included! So many different steps to go through, and then to try to remember the order since it has to be done again and again. Is it the computers I hate, or the fact that my brain doesn't seem to work that way? How is it that brains work differently? Wait...that's a good thing these days. There are a lot of sick people out there so I'm glad we don't all have that brain. I think/hope we're starting to get out of the "I'm offended" stage of things. That's awesome! The world doesn't revolve around any single one of us. It still seems, though, that we are forgetting to laugh! Ricky Gervais is one of the funniest comedians out there these days, in my opinion. He's blunt and just comes out and says it! Some get all pissed off and try to "cancel" him, and he laughs them off! Good for him! His series "After Life" on Netflix is fabulous. It shows...
