Today....

[Coexist]

I spent in the hospital with my daughter. We still don't know what is wrong with her. Its been frustrating.

I came home to DU all abuzz with Edwards and NARAL threads, and finally got happy. I texted my baby, and she was thrilled. I know she had a big smile on her face when she read my message.

I feel like celebrating a little. I'll give a way a couple of stars tonight: One for my girl and one for Senator Edwards.

Do you need one?


(ON EDIT: Thank you all for your kind words, we get results from 2 tests tomorrow morning ::fingers crossed::. She is the one who comforted me when Edwards dropped out, and gently but insistently pointed me towards Obama. Your sweet concern is making me verklempt - I adore you all!)

1. I don't need one, but admire your generosity on a tough day! nt

6. I'm sorry to hear about your daughter...

lengthy diagnostic processes are so difficult. If you want to find someone who needs a star in honor of edwards/NARAL, this thread might be a good place to look: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5969837&mesg_id=5969837

Peace be with you and your family,

31. Because even as an agnostic...

...it gives inner-peace...

Desiderata

-- written by Max Ehrmann in the 1920s --
Not "Found in Old St. Paul's Church"

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.


With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Love and agnostic prayers to both you and yours
Cat

32. Thoughts and prayers that all will be well. Get lots of rest,

The hospitalization of a loved one is such major stress. Take good care of yourself, FLDem5.
I look forward to your posts, always.
