    Brave Little Bird,

    There is nothing I can add to the words others have shared with such love except to add my prayers for as many meaningful days as you wish and when the time does come, passage to the angels that is beautiful and serene. It is what I wish for myself and you deserve light and love.

    Warm hugs to you, Teri

    Hi Teri,

    I am sitting in my lounge looking out through the opens door.  It has been raining with that soft gentle rain of Autumn for three days now and just a few moments ago it stopped.  All of a sudden the sun came out and as it danced over the wet leaves it reflected off the water droplets and made everything sparkle like diamonds.........it only lasted a few moments but oh! Those moments were pure beauty!

    Hoping the sun is shinning for you and you are comfortable.

    Love n hugs.    Chrissy

    hey Teri,

    Just wanted to wish you a good evening.  I have been in Iowa for work these past three days and am very happy to be heading home in the morning.  Something about hotel beds and I just don't sleep as well as at home.  Reaching put to give you a big hand squeeze and a gentle hug.  I still like looking back at that monk photo that was posted here about healing hugs.  Sleep well!

    Teri,

    I haven't posted on your thread for a while but wanted to check in to let you know I am thinking about you daily.  I so hope you are at peace and not afraid anymore.  I hope that knowing you have touched so many of us brings you some comfort.  I do hope you are able to enjoy the spring weather and the beauty that comes with the warmth ... Flowers, grass, birds .... So nice to see after the dreadful winter we have had.  

    Love to you and my hope for pain free days,

    Glenna

    Ebru, that looks yummy!  Now I may  be hungry.

    How do most people handle these threads. Take notes?  I can't remember what I want to say as soon as I click away from it. Oh well, I'm really slowing down a lot as it goes.

    I had a "wake" or a final lunch for my friends and ex-co-workers on Saturday.   It went very well and I got to say my goodbyes to most people,  You guys will get your own goodbye when the time comes.

    Back to the couch. <yawwwnnn> Love to you all.

    Teri

    Good Morning Teri, 

     It was really nice to log on and see that you had stopped by to say hello.  I'm glad you had some time to spend with your friends and co workers.  I do appreciate your sense of humor.  It is a gorgeous spring day here and the last of the snow is melting. YAY, it was a long winter.  Wishing you peace and comfort, sending you strength and love.

    Teri,

    So nice to hear from you and to know you are able to visit with your friends.  I am heading home on the corporate plane.  Whoever says money does not matter is crazy.  I would love to be able to have one of these so I could go visit my friends anytime I wanted....oh well.   We are lucky to live on this time of the internet when we can send pictures and connect in real time.  I feel so close to all you on this thread.  Elbru's picture made me hungry too.  Teri I hope your couch is really comfy and am sending you warm loving thoughts.

    Teri you're strength and spirit is inspirational to many, but especially me. I admire you so much. When I get to this stage in my life I pray I can handle it with the grace and courage you display. Through you I am learning that there are many stages to this disease and we can all make it through them. I am in Awe of you!!!! Be Blessed and know that you have touched many of us. Much Love and gentle but firm Hugs to You, Cynthia

    Teri, I am delighted that you had an opportunity to have time with your friends! What a great idea - I will add that to my list of things to do one of these days .... and I will hold you to that promise that you will give us a good-by when it is time for you to leave us!

    I don't have an answer to your question - mostly I just wing it with what I say, am sure I leave people out, but you just can't be expected to remember EVERYONE ALL the time!!! And especially when  you are tired, and it sounds like you have had a lot going on with hosting a little get-together! I think you do a marvelous job, just checking in here at all!

    Coming here each day to wish you peace and comfort is part of my daily routine of having gratitude; there are so many things to be grateful for, sunshine, breezes, animals, friends .... and a good snooze on the couch! ((((hugs))))

    Teri, only you would have a "wake" with friends and be funny about it. I hope I will be that way too. It was so nice to see that you checked in here earlier today. By the response you have gotten, it is clear that many others feel the same way. 

    If it of any comfort, I find it hard to keep track of what everyone says on threads also. I put it down to my "chemo brain" which makes the best excuse for so many things - like when I almost burned the house down a few days go by leaving the hedgehog's heating element on a rug after cleaning his cage. My husband kept that from happening by smelling smoke and finding where it was coming from. The rug was seriously charred, I had to heave it outside in the rain to be sure it wouldn't ignite later. 

    I loved the pictures of the peacock and turkey. It would be such fun to have a peacock in the back yard. What a beautiful bird! The turkey was pretty great too!

    Hope you got a good rest today. It sounds like you have come to terms with your situation and are content. I hope you are. Maybe it was getting all that paperwork out of the way;) Take care, and my best wishes to you. Sarah

    Teri honey,

    Was just wondering what to eat this morning, as my DH is still rushing to complete his newspaper column… no breakfast in bed expected this morning.. :)  ha ha ha .. anyway, just jumping out of my pyjamas to have that goat cheese with you & a little surprise also planned for afterwards… wait.. 

    Sarah (Hortense) just saw your note now.. sorry for the late reply.. your first guess is right, it is balsamic vinegar - honey mix, really yummy when I am not in the mood for eating.. 

    Everyone, your host is always welcoming you, Teri is my guest of honour today, though.. See ya all in a few hours! he he …

    hugs, kisses, good vibes, prayers, love… (select which you like)

    Ebru
