Never Complain About What You Permit
The story is told about a dog that was sitting on its master's porch one day.
The dog was moaning and groaning, and occasionally he broke out into a
loud whine.
All the while the dog's owner quietly rocked nearby, seemingly
unconcerned. A man walking by the house asked why the dog was acting
that way.
The dog's owner said, "Because he's lying on a nail." The man asked,
"Well, why doesn't he get off it?" The owner said, "Because it's not hurting
bad enough."
We've all encountered people who are like that dog. They moan and groan
about their jobs, their circumstances, their situations, but they never seem
to have enough energy to do something about any of it.
They aren't yet sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Enough Already!
Each of us is born with the power to change our attitude, and very
often, change the circumstances that we don't like. We do not have
to be victims of the words "but," "would," "could," and "should."

Many people will walk in and out of your life. But only true friends will leave
footprints in your heart. To handle yourself, use your head; to handle
others, use your heart.
Anger is only one letter short of danger. If someone betrays you once, it is
his fault; if he betrays you twice, it is your fault.
Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds
discuss people.
He, who loses money, loses much; He, who loses a friend, loses much
more; He, who loses faith, loses all.
Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them
all yourself.
Friends, you and me
You brought another friend
And then there were three
We started our group
Our circle of friends
There is no beginning or end.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift.
Why Women Cry
A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a
woman," she told him."I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged
him and said, "And you never will."Later the little boy asked his father, "Why
does mother seem to cry for no reason?""All women cry for no reason," was
all his dad could say.The little boy grew up and became a man, still
wondering why women cry.Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on
the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?" God said:"When
I made the woman she had to be special.I made her shoulders strong
enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort.I
gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many
times comes from her children.I gave her a hardness that allows her to
keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family
through sickness and fatigue without complaining.I gave her the sensitivity
to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child
has hurt her very badly.I gave her strength to carry her husband through
his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.I gave her
wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes
tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.And
finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it
is needed.""You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in
the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs
her hair.The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is
the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."

Hi Sonya
I found your website through the About (arthritis) network, and am just
exploring it with delight. The way you describe the pain and especially the
fatigue you battlesd and finally overcame is right on the money. I can say
we have "walked a mile' in each others (padded, insoled and orthopaedic!)
shoes. I am very excited to learn more about you and the website you have
brilliantly set up. Thank you SO VERY MUCH for sharing your healing path
and what has worked for you.
As often as I can, when I feel really lousy, and burned out, if I can get over
to my CD collecton and player, I go for my healing classics, music that can
draw me out of myself. Then I turn it up as loud as I can and just receive its
beauty, almost like an infusion. Alltime favourites are John Coltranes "My
favourite things" or "Naima"; Mile Davis's "Sketches of Spain" (or many
others, as with John Coltrane, these are just my top faves) Chucho ValdeS
and Iraker (almost anything by them) Just about anything by Eddie Palmieri.
I have my classical picks too, but I think John Coltrane was a born healer.
The music is so arresting, the playing so majestic, that it just sweeps me
away and fills me with an incredible influx of good energy. Mr Coltrane has
also helped me with my surgery - I have taken my headphones and CD
player on the gurney and keep the music on low until the Dr or
Anaethesiaolist tell me its O.K. to zone out. If you would like more music
picks (I am a dee jay and stone-cold music lover) that I have found healing,
please let me know. All my best to you, and again, many, many thanks for
sharing your healing journey, and for helping others on their (our) journeys.

A carrot, an egg and a cup of coffee... You will never look at a cup of
coffee the same way again.
A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how
things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make
it and wanted to give up She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed
as one problem was solved, a new one arose. Her mother took her to the
kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire.
Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second
she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let
them sit and boil, without saying a word. In about twenty minutes she turned
off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl.
She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the
coffee out and placed it in a bowl.
Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me, what do you see?"
"Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied. Her mother brought her closer
and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft.
The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After
pulling off the shell, she observed the half boiled egg.
Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter
smiled as she tasted its rich aroma.
The daughter then asked, "What does it mean, mother? Her mother
explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity, boiling
water. Each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and
unrelenting.
However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became
weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid
interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became
hardened.
The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the
boiling water, they had changed the water. "Which are you?" she asked
her daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond?
Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?"
Think of this: Which am I?
Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and
become soft and lose my strength?
Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat?
Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or
some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the
same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened
heart?
Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the
very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases
the fragrance and flavour.
If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and
change the situation around you.
When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate
yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity?
Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make
you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make
you happy.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they
just make the most of everything that comes their way.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go
forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was
smiling.
Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone
around you is crying.
You might want to send this message to those people who mean something
to you, to those who have touched your life in one way or another; to those
who make you smile when you really need it; to those who make you see
the brighter side of things when you are really down; to those whose
friendship you appreciate; to those who are so meaningful in your life.

who make you smile when you really need it; to those who make you see
the brighter side of things when you are really down; to those whose
friendship you appreciate; to those who are so meaningful in your life.
