I love the paragraph that begins, "I believe in the power of love ..." Wow, you said exactly the way I feel. I could not have put it into words any better! This is what I love about Eye on the Edge ... You often are able to put into words what I'm thinking which is a powerful reinforcement!

Mararet Atwood sees the world in ways that upset my inner piece. Imwon't attempt watching that series. I'm more of the Crown or Downton Abbey type. Also like you I am learning to watch what words I type as keyword searches may lead to trouble. I also hope for a poitive out come for the blogger.sent her positive vibes.

Thank goodness, most of my friends are not in that group.<br />Ever the optimist, I am hoping Ronnie is in the good percentage. I had a friend with that diagnosis that lived for many years after the surgery and that was years ago. They have gotten better at the treatment today. She is in my prayers.

I don't have Hulu so I can't watch Handmaid's Tale. <br /><br />The change in perspective is why I have always said I was so blessed to have nearly died a few times when I was a kid and to later have had my son, Dagan, who wasn't supposed to live. I actually worry when days slip by on me that I might lose my living-in-the-moment-gratitude-awareness. I never want to take life for granted. It is just too wonderful for words. Life is good.<br /><br />Enjoy the moments of your day, my cyber-friend. ;)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-17564903244752959972017-06-11T19:13:15.608-07:002017-06-11T19:13:15.608-07:00I have tried to read Margaret Atwood but I can'...I have tried to read Margaret Atwood but I can't .

It does make one vulnerable as you said.<br /><br />I try to avoid politics too because people have different opinion and rights to them. The area I have difficulty with is climate change. People who deny it have a right to be wrong, but it puts the world in jeopardy. I have a problem with that denial though I don't waste time trying to convince those people otherwise.

Everyone handles a bad diagnosis differently it sounds like she in an inspiration. <br />This week I watched Wild Oats on netflix...parts in the beginning and middle are really funny (especially the phone scene).<br />It is sunny here, we had rain last night I am off to do some painting or carving :)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-83466130610909718542017-06-11T11:06:48.635-07:002017-06-11T11:06:48.635-07:00I avoid dystopian writing and movies.

Kind of reminds me of old time science fiction where everything encountered out in the universe was evil. Why? <br />Sure, human nature has its good and bad sides, but it seems to me we should cultivate the good side, sort of like pulling the weeds in your garden so the healthful plants can grow.<br />A terminal diagnosis would certainly change ones outlook on daily life. I have thought about it, but I guess I can't really know how I would cope.Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-31388870821684934762017-06-11T10:28:51.530-07:002017-06-11T10:28:51.530-07:00I love Margaret Atwood, although I prefer her othe...I love Margaret Atwood, although I prefer her other writings (Cat's Eye, etc). I fear the Handmaid series would alarm me more than I've already been by happenings in Washington. <br />You're right about the way cancer can color your world. So far I've been on the winning side, but the first diagnosis opened my eyes to my world and afterwards the "all-clear" signal made me really savor small things.Martyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02366449267039641100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-21719255211198803792017-06-11T09:15:48.124-07:002017-06-11T09:15:48.124-07:00DJan, I've never been interested in Superhero ...DJan, I've never been interested in Superhero movies... not that I don't like the concept, just not my thing. However, I may have to see this one.<br /><br />And while I may not believe that love conquers all... I do believe it has the power to do so... but that mankind doesn't understand this power. So many seem to go for power for power's sake/control. But I do believe that love is a powerful force.<br /><br />As for your friend who has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers. My brother died of this a short time after he was diagnosed. And you are right, the threat of imminent death changes you. There's a song about that... something about we should all live like we were dying (skydiving is part of that type of living too).<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.com
