Re: [SPAM]Re: [SPAM] Making a decision

[Guest guest]

Your welcome, and you know the other thing I found out about family and sometimes friends, although not here, and that is, if you just don't try to reach her, just stop trying, about the time you think you'll never again hear from them, they call. I know if I don't send an email to my sister for awhile she will eventually send one to me, and then it's more positive too:) blessings, Marl a

Marla, Thank you for responding to my sister story. I have all but given up on seeing her anytime soon. Now she doesn't answer my phone calls either. I guess it is her loss. She is loosing the contact of a wonderful sister. That would be me. Keep em laughing and thinking.

Any way thanks for the prayers.

[sPAM] Making a decision

Here is another blast from the past. The topic was " making a decision. " I hear ya loud and clear. I love how you shared that with your diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure, you have answers and ways you can control these conditions. That's what all of us are asking for, some control in our lives.I also understand it when you say that today you don't have the strength to deal with all this. I am in th esame place. It all just seems so overwhelming. and i were talking earlier today, about how maybe the thought of healing on a physical level may never happen for me-- and how I may have to accept that the healing will be on a spirit(ual) level. I shared wiht him that I agonize over whether to allow my western medicine MD's to treat me with their prescriptions, or to allow my alternative praticioners to treat me with their approaches. I read in a book that said something to the effect of - People with serious chronic, life threatening illness do agonize over what to do --is it a change of diet, do we need supplements, do we do acupuncture, see the Osteopath or the psychic or the . . .; or do we not treat and see what happens. Then finally, we make our decision as to how to take care of ourself, and as soon as we do-- we tell our loved ones and they say- have you considered this or this or that. Hell yes, we have considered them all. We don't want to make ourselves sicker to get better. But if that choice will ultimately give us some degree of health back, we will do whatever it takes. Whatever it takes.That's the hard part for our loved ones to get-- we have done nothing else but concentrate, educate, seek, pay for, pray for-- answers. Instead of being asked- have you considered XXXX wouldn't it be wonderful if the first reaction would be-- " ok love, I know that you've spent alot of time pondering what to do, I will support you in this decision. " Man how I would love to hear that. Know that it is okay to be weak, tired, scared, sad, angry and worn out. For today, that is okay.Tomorrow we start a new day.Love to all,Tracie -- Marla BramerIndependent Beauty Consultant Kay mbramer@...www.marykay.com/mbramer
