I am not much of a cook so could you please explain what a cottage roll is??? Is it a kind of a variety of ham??? The antibiotics have really played hell with my stomach and I have doing a lot of crackers and ice cream cause they go easy on my stomach. I have heard that chemo really screws up you stomach and taste for food. Guess I will find out...Bunnypie

Yes it is a kind of ham, sweet pickled, often smoked.
Haven't been around anyone going through chemo, so can't really say. My thought was chicken soup for the soul. Is there a dietician who can give you some advice?

Just for today, I will be accepting of what is. I am a walking, hurting unit after my busy week. I made the decision that got me to where I am in today, so I need to be accepting and in today, take action to change my attitude.

I will never forget what a very wise woman said in a meeting years ago "you can do what ever you want but it will cost you"

YES! I will have to talk to the cancer dietician and the radiologist as well as the chemo tech & oncologist who actually will be mixing the formula that they feel is strong enough to kill off the tumor but hopefully not me too!!!

Just for today, I will be forgiving. Not just the people in my life who don't do as I think they should do, but to myself. I need to forgive my body for not keeping up to my thoughts. Forgive my emotional self, and allow myself to feel instead of stuffing them. As one of my favourite quotes days, "Just because you have a feeling, doesn't mean you have to act on it. I tend to think of it more as "acting out" and slipping back into old patterns and behaviours.

I love the phrase "Forgiveness is giving up all hope for a better past" What's done is done. LIN had a great line that I am hanging onto real tight "Serenity comes when we trade our resentments for acceptance"

Just for today, I will have gratitude and give thanks for a great day. Good things accomplished. Contact with friends. I called my friend Barb who lives two apartments away from me and apoliogized for banging my door twice. She often suffers from migraines. I had my hands full of laundry and the window was open and the door slammed shut. I felt bad. Thankfully she didn't hear it and she was having a good day.

Oh JO!!!---rejection is one of the hardest aspects for me to face as a woman & an alcoholic & recently as a cancer patient. I am learning painfully & trying to be graceful about taking rejection. We have to learn to take it on the chin and smile is Bill W's advice. This is not always easy! The 3 R's tend to rear their ugly head!!!! (Revenge-Retaliation-Resentment) I try for comic relief and to laugh about it. I also say in my head f*ck em if they can't take a joke & joke em if they can't take a f*ck!!! It is rude and crude but it make me feel better!!! I am willing to go to any length to feel better and stay in balance....Bunnypie

I had a lot of rejection in my life, but the sadest part was the fact that I rejected myself and lived mylife through others. I had all these built up emotions, and when I quit smoking at 7 years sober, I had a whole set of feelings that I hadn't felt before because the cigarettes, helped to stuff them. I found anger, resentment, rejection, sadness, hurt, abandonment, and a whole list of things that I had to do another 4th Step on. As they say, you have to feel them before you can let them go. I had to give myself permission to hurt and become vulnerable. Because of the abuse in my life, I had a lot of issues to deal with. As I have stated on the board, I was 15 years sober when I went to sexual assault counselling. We deal with things when we are able. I had shut down at an early age and you can't change or heal anything, if you don't acknowledge that it is there.

Just for today, I will build on the relationship that I have with myself and with my God. When my God is with me, how can I not come from a place of love, for myself and others. It has to begin with me. When I doubt myself, I am doubting my God.

Oh Jo!!!---Those bunnies are just adorable!!! They just melt my heart!!! The Honey Bunnies!!! When I don't acknowledge something that means I am in denial. Sometimes I deny I am in denial!!! I get doubtful all the time. I have so much stuff thrown at me that I wonder WTF is going on? I try to take notes so I will remember and write stuff on the calendar. I was told to do the next right thing and don't piss off God!!! It is simple advice and I try my best to follow it.----Bunnypie

Just for today, I will remember that some bunny loves me. I will love myself and make healthy choice and practice self care. I won't discount what is going on in my life. I will validate who I am and know that it is okay to be me.

Medication can do a number on us. I know that there were times I just had to accept what was in the minute, knowing it was subject to change. With Fibromyalgia, I suffer from chronic fatigue and I can't do what I use to do and I had to accept it. As they say, "It is what it is." I just try to be open to healing and trust the process and asked questions so I would be in the know and know my own truth. This is what happening. What can I do about it. The Serenity Prayer has been a life saver for me.

I am learning that my limitations are even more limited then they were before!!! It is horrible! I went to tour a cancer support house and I could barely walk around. I had to take the elevator and sit down suddenly. Thank God the woman giving the tour was very compassionate and she also told me of a class where they give away wigs that seem to fit with your face & coloring. I got very emotional and was crying. I never use to cry ever! Now I cry at the drop of a hat!!! I was exhausted after just 4 hours and had to beg for a ride home.........Resignation is more like how I am feeling rather then acceptance!!!!

Know what you mean, I have to stop and rest. It is nice they offered a free wig. I love hats, but for the most part they give me a headache if I wear them too long. For me, 4 hours is a long time to be out and about, but then I am older than you.
Continued prayers.
