Hi Judi,

Thank you for the beautiful story...I am coordinator for faith formation for

the children at our church and will read it tonight--I was just telling

myself I needed to get off the computer and get my class organized--this will

be one thing I use--thank you. I read the posts from yesterday late last

night. My thoughts are with each of you who is in the process of searching

for answers, healing, and struggling to grow from a challenge in life that

has been presented to us all. Just having one healthy baby is certainly a

life change and then to add to it, twins or triplets, is quite another

challenge and then add to that a baby or babies with Down Syndrome and

possible health problems and dealing with the world's view and figuring how

it all fits with ours as the baby's mom--Wow! I think it is quite o.k. to

have any and all the feelings we have. As I reflect back (I am now five

years into this experience), I think of what helped me most and still helps

me. It is my faith. I put a lot of trust in the way God sees Sara--not how

anyone else sees her...and I truly have never known anyone like her--she has

touched me so deeply with her incredible long hugs. I can walk into a room

after being gone for a while...she runs over, through and under any obstacle

to get to me to give me a greeting and a hug. She pampers me--we love to

comb each others hair (she hates having her hair combed when it needs to be),

but when we're just playing beauty parlor--she is a great stylist. She loves

her baby dolls and is so nurturing and gentle--so to watch her play is a lot

of fun. I never know how she will come out of her room where her dress-up

clothes are--the other day she came out with a funny hat on her head and

keeping it on was an " old " (it was clean) sanitary belt she had found that

was keeping her hat on. I laughed so hard. So to close this long

disertation, since Sara has come into my life--I have loved deeper than ever

before, I have been more frustrated than ever before, I have laughed harder

and cried harder--to me that is life and without her, my life would have

continued to be lived more on the surface than it is, now...

Darlene,

This is one of my favorite quotes. You may not have noticed yet, but I even used this quote at the end of one of the Victory Theory tapes.

It really is wonderful. Some real food for thought for all of us. I am glad you sent it out. It is such a great reminder.

Love,

Rashelle

Dear Ossss,

Reread the thought below, it is so true. For years I was on overcharge, had

no choice, worked full time, single mom, college full time, no time for

exercise or proper nutrition and now I am basically housebound, almost

bedbound, have dx's that would put you to sleep trying to read them all, and

am trying to crawl back to health with the help of this list and my doctor.

So, Please, Please, find time to exercise properly and eat healthy.

Hugs, Michele, currently unable to work and on SSDI for over 6 yrs. and

expect to stay that way.

Dear Michele, thanks for the reminder about exercise- it is so true!

Now, I feel empathy for you in your situation and understand on some level what

you are going through BUT

So much in terms of illness is soooo connected with the mind. I am uncomfortable

with your statement " and expect to stay that way " . What you think is what you

will get! There are many good books on the Mind/Body connection and several have

been mentioned in posts lately right here on this board especially by myself and

by .

I know you are fighting hard and we had the discussion re what a lot of meds

can do - Axel's been there - but I urge you to do some reading and thinking re

the Mind connection. The mind is such a powerful healer that none of us can

afford to overlook.

I hope you will do some affirmations, post signs reminding yourself that you are

getting better!

I wish you all the best for a speedy recovery.Olease keep us to date on your

progress. I am sending you healing energy - and no, I am not a kook. Nonlocal

healing and prayer are phenomenon (sp?) that are now proven in many studies!

Hi Jenni, that is a great message that you shared today. I think I

will pass that along to someone else today. :-) My sister in law and

I are having a weight loss challenge. so I will pass that along to

her. she is coming out to visit in a few months, so we are trying to

see who can loose the most weight by her visit.

Oh, and I LOVE starbucks too! i have been addicted to espresso

drinks for years, well I do live in the northwest and we are famous

for having coffee shops on every single corner! I even bought myself

a machine (well I said I bought if for my husband, but it is really

for me. lol). I did that so I could cut down on cost, but i still

hit the starbucks once in awhile too. I went to " cash and carry "

(cash and carry is kind of like a restaurant supply) and they have

hundreds of sugar free syrups, so I got some of those too. they are

all 0 cals. so if I do non fat milk, I can make a latte for about 90

cals. so that aint bad!

You sound like you are pretty tight from your fill. I am still

pretty tight too. I am really considering getting a unfill. for me

it is just a matter of money right now. it will cost me almost 400

dollars for a unfill, so I have to wait a little longer. In the mean

time I Just make sure I get my protien and nutrients and try not to

eat things that will make me pb. I am really limited on food choices

right now. i can even pb on full liquids sometimes. like, my

husband and I found this fabulous little whole in the wall restaurant

on the water front of Gig harbor and I had the clam chowder. OHG it

was to die for! it was a heart attack in a bowl for sure, real

cream, butter the works! well it didnt agree with the ole band. I

ate it so slow, but ended up pb'ing in the bathroom, and then when I

came back the waitress looked at me " like you arent eating the soup,

dont you like it " , so I had to explain to her that I cant eat that

much because I have weight loss surgery. so I asked to take the rest

home. and later I was able to eat it. so i have come to the

realization that I am way to tight! my goal for the band was to

limit me to smaller portions, but not to limit me to 5 foods I can

eat! and also a tight band tends to like stuff that is way to

unhealthy. I miss fruits, veggies, and meat! I tried to eat a apple

last night, with no success. so I know I need to the unfill! and to

top it off, I am not loosing that much. I think the bod is in

starvation mode or something!

well Jenni, thanks for sharing that inspirational message. we need

words of wisdom like that daily! :-) this is such a fabulous

journey! it is trully amazing to be alive!!! :-)

big hugs,

dob 10/6/06

>

> With this email, I have to admit an addiction that I have picked

up...especially since my dear band has decided that she only likes

hot things for right now...Starbucks. However, I do order it with

fat free milk, sugar free syrup, and no whip cream so my calorie

count is only 130 and there are actually 12 grams of protein in the

grande size! So, I can justify my addiction, right? Plus, since my

fill/port removal, I am only able to tolerate liquids until the

afternoon/evening and they have to be hot. So, there you have it.

However, that was not the sole purpose of this email. I want to

share with you what the quote on the Starbuck's cup says this

morning....

LOL;; GOOD ONE & SO TRUE.. JUDGE NOT OR BE JUDGED

HUGS

DORT

From: ~Mare~ <bittydogs@...>Subject: Thought For The Dayautoimmune-ills Date: Monday, November 10, 2008, 8:41 PM

Things aren't what they appear to be.

A young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The next morning, while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees the neighbor hang up the wash outside. "That laundry is not very clean," she said, "she doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs a different laundry soap."

The husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time her neighbor would hang out the wash, the young woman would make the same comment.

About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband, "Look! She has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?"

Her husband said, "I got up early this morning and washed the windows."

And so it is with life: What we see while watching others, depends on the purity of the window through which we look.

ANYWAY

People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered,

LOVE THEM ANYWAY

If you do good, people will accuse you of

Selfish, ulterior motives,

DO GOOD ANYWAY

If you are successful,

You will win false friends and true enemies,

SUCCEED ANYWAY

The good you do will be forgotten tomorrow,

DO GOOD ANYWAY

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable,

BE HONEST AND FRANK ANYWAY

What you spent years building may be

Destroyed overnight

BUILD ANYWAY

People really need help

But may attack you if you help them,

HELP PEOPLE ANYWAY

Give the world the best you have

And you'll get kicked in the teeth

GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST YOU'VE GOT ANYWAY.

-- From a sign on the wall of Shishu Bhavan, the children's home in

Calcutta (`Mother , A Simple Path´)
