Persistence takes very strong will power. In
Chinese saying, even soft as water, after
days, months and years, it can DRILL through
a rock! So, life always finds a way THROUGH.
Love your find! How inspiring! It could be a
message from your guardian angel. :-) Another
Chinese saying is that if a person goes
through some chronical pain, he/she will
develop a stronger mental power and physical
power to fight against any challenge in the
future. Happy to see you come out and
breathe, dearest Antoinette sistah! MUAH!!!

Dear Antoinette this is good news!
I'm smiling to think that you are on your
way to mending. Please take care of yourself.
I can only speak for myself, but I often
forget to look after myself when I am
healthy, and then wonder why I did not when I
am unhealthy.
Here is to wishing you a solid healing and
peace; and commendation on your courage.
PS superman is in hiding this weekend on
orders from his doctor. But I'm certain he
will soon be out and about.
Keep well.

take our "healthy" days for
granted, EVER!

Antoniette! This is lie a SP! Both you and

Yes, a SP for sure! Actually, all my images
come from within as a type of visual
journaling! And somehow, there is always a
quotation somewhere that fits! Thanks for
your visit!
Thank goodness! Sorry I've been such a
terrible correspondent....never went through
anything like this in my life.....even having
a baby and carrying it for 9 months was
easier! At least there was a bundle of
"joy" at the end . . . but now, I
will have my little Miss Ellie in a few days!
That will be the best medicine!

Love the green stretching having found the
nourishment deep within...
I think you have given birth again, but on
another level, as out of suffering miracles
are born. Your granddaughter coming to be
with you is surely a strong confirmation...
So happy that you are out of the worst and
can breathe again. That is just wonderful.
There is nothing like patience and
persistence...bringing us infinte rewards.

 ah, I love your words....you always make me
smile, CG!!! Thanks so much, dear friend! Tomorrow I get
to see "Miss Ellie" for the 3rd
time in her young life....last time she was
just barely crawling, and now she is walking
and talking! Tammy, that chapel is ASTONISHING!!! I'd
have to visit that if I ever got down your
way! Ah, Maggie, I miss you so much.....I'll be
around soon....still standing to type....but
actually sat down 3 times today for a few
minutes! Thanks, Lynn! Hope I can bend down to hug
Ellie tomorrow!!!!! Yes....I can scarcely wait until Ellie can
stay with us for a week!!!  Oh, Carol...a new buddy! It's so colorful!

A beautiful image with inspiring words to go
with it. So pleased to hear that things are
looking up for you Antoinette, the pain much
less and your smile back in place!!
Time may heal all wounds, but steady daily
routine makes good bandages. W.P.G.
Life is the only game in which the object of
the game, is to learn the rules! Ashleigh
Brilliant.

What a perfect follow-up to your rock and
hard place piece! Oh, the power of life!
Despite adversity, this plant has found a
foothold in the rock….now as it grows and its
roots expand, it will strengthen that hold.
Life is prevailing. . .in time the rock will
split. . . .
