....my heart is heavy. Maybe it's just me, maybe not. I "hear" and see some things that breaks my heart. And yet, I see and "hear" such uplifting things! This board is meant for support. It is meant to be a safe place to come, not to be judged, envied, or what have you. If *I* have in anyway done this to any of you (my friends, my family, my help) then I am TRUELY sorry! Please know that I don't intend to hurt anyones feelings as *I* know what it is like to be hurt and would NEVER want to inflict that upon ANYONE! With that said, I want to say some quotes that will hopefully encourage, enlighten, uplift, support, butt kick when needed, put a smile on your face, maybe a tear in your eye, ECT: ~Don't compare yourself to anyone as you are JUST AS valueable, worthy, special as anyone else here! ~DO "out love", "out support", "out encourage", "out lift" as many people as you possible can! ~DO look at the bright/positive side of things! ~DWELL on acheivements not lack of! ~If you don't like the way your life is then CHANGE it! ~If you know you shouldn't THAN DON'T!! And if you know you should THAN DO IT!! ~Celebrate with those who succeed and ENCOURAGE those who need a little!! (your day on either could be tomorrow!) ~"Live well, LAUGH OFTEN and LOVE much! ~Be quick to listen and slow to speak! ~It's ok to be you! Not what people say or think you are. ~Be honest with yourself first! ~"Don't worry about the speck of dust in their eye when there is a plank in your own!" ~Make one small goal at a time will get you further with more success then setting a "bigger then life" goal. That's all for now. More to come! My love to you all! Hugs!

(((Sandie)))) Awww great post!!! I echo your sentiment and sure hope that in my short time being back I have not said nothing to hurt anyone or come across in a way that would discourage anyone - and if so, I am sorry. That would never be my intention either AND I hope anyone would tell me if I did because I would want to know because it would break my heart to think that I would unintentionally hurt anyone's feelings. That's never my goal! I think we can run into that problem in posts because we can't "hear" the words, the emotion or the intent so I can see how sometimes things can come off in a way that they are not intended. That's the stinky thing about emailing and posting gol darnit!

I sure can't think of a thing you could or would say that would be of hurt to anyone as you are always so very uplifting, encouraging and positive! I love that about you!

I love these boards and it is very inspiring for me to see everyone's journey! This is a wonderful group of people and you are ALL valued! ((((Hugs)))) Michelle

Sandie - you are precious and I hope you know that! I started a Beth Moore Bible study last night called "Believing God" and I have kept this one thing with me and I'm going to add it to your list. "Stop whining and wishing and start believing and receiving." Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Sandie. You are in maintenance phase now and we should all be grateful to be learning from those like you because I believe the phase you're in is much more difficult than that of the pre-op or newly post-op. Blessings on your day!

Hey Sandie, remember this one? If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans! That's deep, but I always think it's a good one to remember. ~smooches~

I love love love that saying!(It's in a country song too) I know I must have made God "pee His pants" from laughing so hard a time or two telling him MY plans! HUGS!

Sandie, What a wonderful post full of much encouragement. It would be nice to paint a mural with some of those quotes...if only I owned my own place and could paint on the walls. You really do give some really great encouragement. I know that I need to give more to others, I feel like sometimes all I do is take and I feel bad. I also hope that I have not offended or hurt anyone as I truely have no intentions of that ever happening to anyone. I cherish all of your friendships so much I would never want to hurt any of you. Love, Nicole
