Yes, I’m still here
March 31st, 2008It’s been a busy few weeks. I looked up my blog and found that there hasn’t been a post in 10 days so I better just write something so you know I haven’t disappeared again.
Hope all is well with you all.
By the way, am I getting older or does it seem like more and more people I know are getting cancer? It really is scary. Getting it late in life is one thing, but it really disturbs me when people under 30 get cancer.
Anyways, there are only 2 things in life that truly suck - death of a loved one and bad health. Almost everything is else tolerable. Yes, no need to bring up poverty or homelessness. I’m aware. Been through both. But nothing compares to death of a loved one or bad health.
If you and your loved ones are healthy, count your blessings. Appreciate it while you can. There’s an old saying that goes when a man is healthy, he wants a thousand things. When he’s sick, he only wants one thing.
you know i was just having this conversation recently. it really does seem like there is so much more cancer going on. i can’t even count all the people i either know personally or know through a friend who are in some sort of a battle with it.
Never a truer word spoken ZS.
Pleased to see your post - you had me worried for a moment - I thought Ms Hilary’s ‘mis-speak’ moment had floored you *wink*
That last line says it ALL!
I have a classmate with a son that’s Z’s age who’s dying of leukemia. That’s my worst nightmare!
So sad to agree. I know more dead people at 56 than my mom does at 80.
Glad YOU’RE still here!!!
I know what I want when I’m sick and that’s to be healthy.
Happy to see you back. You’re so right.
When i am sick I don’t understand why people around me are not sick as well.
I also know many people who have cured from cancer for the moment, it is very scary and I am fully with them to help them with love and confidence.
But thanks God or whoever, I am in good health, children and family too, I know it, and thank you for reminding this good basic.
Just don’t start posting as infrequently as I do.
I don’t know about cancer, but I am almost 50 now, 3 more months, and almost all my friends, younger than me, have all had heart attacks and/or are diabetic.
I can think of one thing to add to things that suck in life, Bad Breath, Death of a Loved One, and HEMMOROIDS!!!!
Amen, as far as cancer is concerned I’m worried about all the massive chemicals we use these days.
I guess all we can do is appreciate each other while we’re here…there’s only so much a person can do to stay healthy, and life is rarely fair.
Here I thought I was missing all your posts while on vacation! I feel better now. ;D
Hope you and Mrs ZS enjoyed your weekend ZS.
Very true.
To good health!
It’s not just cancer. For a while there (a couple of months back), I had friend after friend after friend telling me about friends of theirs in their 30s just dropping dead or dying in their sleep - no known cause. To me that’s even more scary than cancer. With cancer, you generally know it’s coming.
