    Tanya - I agree that a good cry is necessary to cleanse the soul once in a while.

    I have a coffee mug with this on;

    Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. Life is about learning to dance in the rain.

    Great thread, thanks x

    It came to me today that some of the reasons, besides the obvious.. I have had so much trouble dealing with CANcer is.. I always thought my Life's Purpose was taking care of my loved ones, loving people, and making their lives better.. Since CANcer came into my life.. I feel so limited..!! I feel my purpose has been lost. I FEEL LIKE I AM WITHOUT A PURPOSE..

    I don't have the energy to do so many things.. My state of mind often stops me from wanting to do anything.. Sometimes I can't do hat I want to do..

    But I am now working on a new way of doing things and a new way of enjoying life.. and a new way of helping people..

     Because truly, Life Does Go On.. and I don't want to miss another minute..!!

    Redefining My Purpose in Life, Bj ((((HUGS TO ALL))))

    "I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough..” ~ Nicholas Sparks~

    Karmasutra! I have found a new favorite word, and I hope my addled brain will remember it for a long time. Thank you, Ebru!

    Here's my quote for the day:

    In certain trying circumstances,

    urgent circumstances,

    desperate circumstances,

    profanity furnishes a relief

    denied even to prayer.

    Mark Twain

    Brenda, one of my favorite authors - I don't remember that quote. 

    From Isaac Asimov, another favorite author of mine:

    "The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom."

    Having contributed to our vocabulary Karma Sutra, I felt I would do injustice not to share the "Marrried Kama Sutra" with my BCO sisters.. :)

    Ebru, love your posts! I got some laughs, and your quote of the day kind of hit me in the face. I needed that!

    "Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds.  A sense of humor is just commons sense, dancing. - William James

    And I don't think ANYONE will be able to top the karma-sutra! Happy

    Ebru, 

    Love the Married Kama Sutra. Most amusing! I think my personal favorite may be the Dishwasher Position.

    P.S. Oh dear. Is that too much information?

    This thread brings up so many emotions, I read this:

    The worst kind of pain is when your smiling just to keep the tears from falling.

    and know that pain.

    Then the very next post is "Karmasutra", and I've got tears rolling down my face from laughing.
