Morning Campers.
Is anyone else mentally drained from yesterday?? I know I am. It was surreal watching it over and over again yesterday on the TV..like it was happening again..very strange feeling...nothing like that vision to take you right back to that very moment.. I even got the chills like I did that morning...I think a lot of us have been effected emotionally by this.. I for one am glad yesterday is over...do not take that wrong..as a military wife you know that I will NEVER forget but the selfsh side of me is glad that the anniversary and the "in your face" reminders will be put aside for another year...I am not saying they should be and if you know anything about me at all you know that I will NEVER forget.. I am just saying I found yesterday and the days leading up to it overwhleming and I am glad it's over.. to dwell on it and rehash it over and over again gives those terrorist cowards too much of what they wanted...
sorry just had to get that off my chest....
Lots of stuff rattling around in my head...concerns for my sweet Di back in UK..seems the cancer is worse than we first feared..stage 3 aggressive.. she cut all her hair off this weekend so that if she loses it to the chemo it won't be so much of a shock... as you can see in the pics she has gorgeous hair....she is remaining positive and has great support but I'm not there dammit.. and I want to be.. if I could I would do this for her...I hate this...Ryan's friend Brandon is not doing so good..his body has rejected the transplant..he is very ill at the moment..he has been having seizures... his prognosis is not good.. Ryan is in denial...I am hoping to take Ryan up to the hospital today to visit Brandon...yesterday was a good day for him and he was able to talk on the phone to Ryan...
Please don't think I am all doom and gloom..far from it.. I have a very full and blessed life...I am not a deeply religious person but I do consider myself spiritual.. I try to find things each and every day to be grateful for.. if anything having so many close to me suffering is one more reason to celebrate life to the fullest...I am ashamed of myself for complaining about my boring weekend...I bet Di or Brandon would love to have a boring weekend .. a cancer free boring weekend...I am just sad that this is happening to those I love...so my way of fighting back is to have a new attitude and a new lease on life...I will not take for granted any more that Iam happy and healthy and so very blessed...I will take each new day as the gift that it is....I hope you will too....
L
My five for today....
1. My health
2.. My family
3... I am loved
4.... I am a mother...
5.....Today.. a new day.. a gift........

I know what you mean, I feel absolutely rung out today.
We say we mustn't forget and we don't but we do, in time, let go of the feelings. I don't think it does any harm at all to relive it like we did yesterday, it's the least we can do for the victims and hopefully will make us all strive to prevent such things happening again in the future. But I would like the prevention to be by peaceful means, not by war.

Great five things, your health being number one. I'm so thankful to be healthy because so many people aren't and its so random. Its mindblowing!
I'm sorry to hear that they're are so many sick people in your life currently, i've just lost someone close to me due to health and it really puts things in perspective.
I know what you mean about 9/11, it really brings everything back and its impossible to escape and rightfully so. but it is difficult!
Love the changes made to your journal! And the picture!!!

Lyn I know what you mean about yesterday ~ It was so sad reading all the journals ~ and reliving that awful day ~ none of us will forget those images~ so sorry about your friend Di and Ryans mate Brandon I do so wish them well ~ Love all your 5 things and yes health is no 1 may you always be blessed with it ~ Ally
I'm so sorry about Di and Brandon. How very sad. We so often forget that the world is bigger than the one we have created for ourselves and then we come face to face with someone else who is dealing with something so much bigger than our tribulations and that is when we realize how grateful we should be even when the little things go wrong. I try to do the same thing that you are doing and try to remember even when something bad happens to me that there are so many other people out there who are not as lucky as me at that moment. That even though I may wish something so vain as to be thinner, that at least I have the use of all my limbs, I don't have any impairments, and that I am healthy. I think it is human nature to get caught up in our own lives and then reality gets in our face to remind us not to take so many of the good things in our lives for granted. I really feel bad that you are so far away from your best friend when you'd really like to be by her side helping her deal with some of what is going on. But I'm sure she appreciates just being able to talk with you on the phone.

I know what you mean Lyn. . I looked at the photo of you and Di in the pub and thought how nice you both look and then the next one where shes in hospital and it seems so unfair.Im sorry she has stage three. . and for Brandon too.No wonder you feel mentally drained and of course yesterday was an emotional day too.Sending you a big hug. : )
Yesterday was a very emotionally straining day. Hope you have a good evening.

I know what you mean about being drained from yesterday. I was a wreck most of the day. I had no appetite (sooo not me!). Didn't feel like accomplishing anything. Had to keep the tv and radio off most of the time.
I am so sorry about your and Ryan's friends. Words can't express.
