To my viewers...

Hi new readers!  If you are viewing my blog for the first time, please feel free to click on the follower's link.  Make comments, let me know what you think and what your personal philosophy on life is.  I'm always open to making new friends and discovering new points of view.

I added a new picture to my profile today.  I took the flower pictures on a beautiful and rare trip we took to Maui, Hawaii.  Everywhere we looked there were new things to see, and we especially loved seeing the whales.  The trip was in February of 2007 -- one we will remember and cherish all the days of our lives!

Have you ever met someone, not in person, but on the telephone, perhaps just doing your normal business routine, but that someone had such an impact on you that you will never forget them?  I had two of those meetings today, both were people who disclosed they were diagnosed with a terminal illness, one man and one woman.  Now, you might expect someone with that type of diagnosis to be in poor spirits, but exactly the opposite was true!  They were delightful to talk with and had great attitudes about their diagnoses. 

I have personally had two cancer diagnoses in my life, and thankfully, I have beat them both.  Since I had cancer, I've developed my own outlook on life.  It has taken a while, trudging through the mud of depression and revisiting my own spirituality, but I've recently begun to awaken from the long twilight of depression and am seeing a new light of peace that is drawing me to it.  And this light of peace is motivating me to share the light with others, one person at a time.  I only hope and pray that I can be as enlightening to others in a 10 - 20 min conversation as the above people were to me today.  I wish them joy in their challenges and a loving transition.

The Universe is Kind....
