SunChild Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Bless all of you for sharing! Evster, I hope everything works out for you. MSG wrote: "When I have been in the depths, (maybe in the place where you are now or have been in the past) the universe always sent me a friend or a lover who was the counterweight to those depths." It's true, you can't know the highest heights without knowing the darkest depths. But to have a friend, or lover, or animal spirit, (or great guitarist ) come along to show you that, and share it with you, that is a miracle. My biggest miracle was understanding one day that being able to feel the warmth of the sun with eyes closed and mind still is the biggest miracle of all. All the rest is icing... except for friends, lovers, and animal spirits (and great guitarists), they're the cake. "Bright light almost blinding, black night still there shining, can't stop, keep on climbing... " In counter balance to the heavy bits, I was having this discussion with my husband once, about the abundance of the universe. We were camping and I was trying to get him to understand that the world will provide, so I said, pretty bombastically, "the universe is abundant! You just have to look around!" So he looked all around the campsite we were in and said "Yeah, I sure do see an abundance of poison oak!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquamarine Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Many thanks to all of you for sharing those stories, I know it took guts. Leddy, I had a similar illness four years ago (aneurysm) but the after-effects weren't nearly as serious as yours, in any sense. You reminded me again how very lucky I am. I'm really happy you made it on through, and Ev and MSG too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninelives Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Leddy - what a story. You have been through so much and it's very inspirational your positive attitude. Before reading that, I'd never have known you went through so much as your posts are so filled with optomism and happiness. I truly commend you (and Ev) for never giving up no matter how difficult things were. Thank you for sharing that. The mind is indeed a powerful thing isn't it.

manderlyh Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 It can seem very discouraging at times. I've been depressed before to the point of being suicidal, and I can see how depressing those kinds of things could be. It's been a very long time--closer to twenty years than ten years. My depression was caused by something that was extremely trivial IMO compared to the stories of Ev and Leddy. I'm glad that you guys shared those stories. It shows us that no matter how bad it seems, sometimes the only way out is up. I hope I can remember that if I encounter a bad case of the blahs.

Bilbo the Rover Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Divine intervention has played such a large part in my life, I wouldn't know where to start. The biggest miracle that altered my life was the birth of my daughter, she saved my life. Her birth was a monumental event, as some miracles are, while others are more subtle, and I think that they abound in our daily life, without us ever realizing it. Without being too sappy , the gift of every new day is a miracle...a chance to start fresh, for new oppurtunities to learn and love. Ev and Leddy's stories has proven that, the gift of a new day, full of hope is a miracle in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquamarine Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 ^^Ditto that, Bilbo. That's so lovely. Are you ok now ?? More or less, thanks--I have to take anti-seizure meds, which mean I can't drink--which none of those who know me have ever seen me doing, right, guys? --and I had reconstructive surgery on my face so now the worst of it is an eyebrow that doesn't move. So compared to you, I'm totally blessed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeepBlackZeppelin Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Evs, that was an amazing story. I cannot believe that you have faced such an event. I mean that was such a unique event, but it granted you so much fortunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as if having the cancer to contend with wasn't enough to have thrown at you--very glad you survived that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have taken myself off the anti seizure meds last year as for years theside effects were bad, talk about a jay walker, I was a zombie lol !! The way things are going I hope to stop having anything in the next few years (I hope) !! I thinl we are all blessed !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyedye Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Thank you so much for sharing your personal story with us Ev. That doesn't happen very often on the net. Very uplifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendigo Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I'm a Gemini. Pisces rising. Cancer moon. Rising Sign is in 22 Degrees Pisces Sun is in 27 Degrees Gemini. Moon is in 03 Degrees Cancer. Mercury is in 20 Degrees Cancer. Venus is in 21 Degrees Taurus. Jupiter is in 09 Degrees Cancer. Saturn is in 29 Degrees Pisces. Uranus is in 15 Degrees Virgo. Neptune is in 19 Degrees Scorpio. Pluto is in 15 Degrees Virgo. N. Node is in 25 Degrees Taurus. Draw your own conclusions, if you can be bothered! :lol I should copy this to the astrology thread! Wow, Ev, you are a very sensitive and caring person from that chart. And you also have a "triangle" formed there - that means luck and great things. Amazing reading your story. My life has just started really, but I know I have to hang onto life for what it is and not take it for granted. Hope everything works out for you and Angi.

That's the most important thing! My boyfriend's family is from New Orleans. His mother also suffered a lot because of that bitch Katrina. It sucks, doesn't it?
