That's probably my most favorite quote ever. I have always loved it.

A little long, but it made me tear up a bit today (aka, hormonal):
"Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Faith is not about everything turning out OK; Faith is about being OK no matter how things turn out. You may touch someone's heart today and forever. Enjoy this beautiful day with a heart full of gratitude."

Who's this from Talia? I love it. It's long enough to really mean something but I like how you highlighted the faith bit. I think that's central to all survival but especially to us having an incurable disease. Thanks for posting it

It was actually in one of the gushy forwarded emails I usually never read. The faith part really got me today...I've been down about my impending surgery and being in so much pain again, it just really put everything in perspective for me. Kind of washed the panic feeling away.

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle. -Saint Philo of Alexandria
My friend whose daughter has neuroblastoma posted this yesterday as her status and it brought a little tear to my eye. How true is this?? Those of us with an invisible disease can really understand it and maybe we can think of how many other people might be suffering and fighting just like we are. So awesome.

This is from The Sandman by my favourite author Neil Gaiman, it always seems to follow me around, but I love the truth and sadness of it, as well as the fact it's very tongue in cheek to an extent:
Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up a whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life... You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' or 'how very perceptive' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. Nothing should be able to do that. Especially not love. I hate love.
