I have been dancing so much to avoid the storm lol. So much bad in the last 2 weeks has happend but if I let it bring me down I could not share in this thread if I focused on all of that. Break down of the last few weeks..... Dog bite by my dog in the face a day before NYC, 4th of July fireworks over the Hudson that was a def bucket list and MUST SEE girls. Tiffany's with my friends and of course a bracelet for my baby niece. LOL ya she is 1 but Auntie Keri does not know age. A letter from work on adendance and a possible fire bc of it. I accepted with a smile knowing I have been a loyal and loving employee. Lets seee hmmmm think that is it. Oh 4 front teeth loose by dog and a chipped tooth Possible retainer to fix the damage done. Had to decide if I should put her asleep or not. She may have a tumor growing and that is why she was so agressive with me. I love her and am keeping her safe from others. Life has been hard but this next picture will explain how I feel and love is all around. My list keeps growing and more is added and accomplished each time I log in and post on this thread. Friends and love get me by......

I took a big hit today. My friend was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer I was told at work. WOW I cried. I have to find a special place to go with her. Geneva on the Lake is a childhood memory for her she loves so i may make a trip for us. Stage 4 Cancer is that like Stage 4 Endo? Please someone tell me she will be ok......

Aww Keri I'm so sorry! I know how much you love your friends. What kind of cancer is it? I think stage 4 means it has spread to other places. How is your friend taking the news?

I got half way reading this thread and started to cry. I have done so much and I know I can do more. This weekend the girls planned a White Party for us to all go out dress up and have a nice dinner together. White candles, piano player, photographer and white dresses. I am trying to pull it together to go. I know I can make it. Even if just for a pop in. It is going to be hard tho and I think after reading over all this maybe I will get the inspiration from myself to go. Or get it from someone else? A sign that says its all going to be ok is all I am looking for.... Attachments:

See - pushing yourself to go to these things depends on who you'll be with. If the people you'll be spending the evening with are worth your efforts, and will put a smile on your face, make you feel the love and cheer you up, then go, and let them make you smile. If they'll drain you and make you feel sad, then don't go. But knowing you and the people around you - it'll give you a boost. Keri, go with your heart, do what's right for you. You already know the answer.

That reminds me of my favorite poem by Emily Dickinson! I don't know all of it by heart but I know this.. "Hope is a thing with feathers / that perches in the soul / and sings the tune without the words / and never stops at all / and sweetest in the gale is heard / and sore must be the storm / that could abash the little bird / who kept so many warm."
