To All Who Fight The Good Fight

To all those courageous folks who live with a rotten hand they were dealt, and still see beauty in the world - I genuflect in prayer for you.

Some of us may be dealt rotten hands so to speak, but to me I take that hand and try and turn it into something that becomes a hand of beauty.  I got sick and could not work so i turned to gardening, my hands dont type as a secretary any more but they work the soil and make beauty.  My hands also create paintings, so I took those rotten hands I was dealt and made them become positive things.
God bless you for thinking of others my friend.

Beautifully put, Luddie!  I can name several people that I know, right here on AOL who have been dealt a rotten hand, and still they continue to see beauty and find humor in their situations.  I admire people like that so much!

Hugs,
Jackie

You are so right to point this out. I think that the human spirit is incredible. People can come to terms with and make something positive out of the worst situations. I wish that they didn't have to though,

Amen.  As do I.
I can't remember if I told you this while we were IMing the other day, Cathy, (am I brain dead or what, I can't remember???), but my husband has had cancer twice.  The first time was non-hodgkin's lymphoma, the second time MDS (bone marrow cancer).  He had a stem cell transplant this Jan.  He has had complications but fights on.  He is my hero.  This entry makes me want to cry.

First of all, I send my prayers and well wishes to Krissy's husband.  He can never quit - and it is important for him to FIGHT ON!  God bless him - you know, I don't think it is the hand that you are dealt in life, I firmly believe it is the way you perceive that hand!!!!  A positive ATTITUDE is eveything - My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with all of you that are fighting the good fight - I survived breast cancer and I made it the most positive experience of my life. Now I am dedicated to helping others in any and all ways that I can.  Be well.
