Pithy Little Thoughts
Hardly a week passes that I don't hear from someone who is newly diagnosed. Sometimes it's lymphoma. Sometimes it's another type of cancer. Always, it's painful. But I've also heard some wonderful stories of the love that cancer draws out in many people. Strangers say prayers and friends shave their heads in solidarity, bring meals, cut lawns, and send funny cards.
I recently ran across some notes and cards friends have sent me over the years and thought the following were worth sharing:
Life isn't fair but it's still good.
Make peace with your past so you don't screw up your present.
Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Make peace.
When in doubt, just take the next little step.
Life is too short for long pity parties. Get busy living.
However good or bad the situation is, it will change.
Envy is a waste of time.
Life isn't tied with a bow but it's still a gift.
Resistance is futile when it comes to chocolate.
Don't take no for an answer when it comes to going after whatever you love in life.
Burn the candles. Sleep on the nice sheets. Wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save these for a special occasion...because today is the most special day of all.
