Very powerful experience. <br /><br />A lot of people have no idea I have an illness and I totally get that they don't know what to say, nor do I. <br /><br />"How are you?" those who know, say.<br /><br />"Great." I say <br /><br />"That's good to hear." They see I still have hair so have to be wondering, why???? Why does she look so good! <br /><br />And usually they understand but seriously, you're right, they just don't get it. I say I'm not going to the reception or restaurant because I'm on a strict regimen(t) <--[for gran] ;) of organic greens, veggies and fruit, then ten minutes later they invite us to a Memorial Day cookout! With farmers GMO meat! And junk! <br /><br />Really? Yeah...I have to cry. I don't even understand, myself. <br /><br />I'm a visitor with a PURPOSE!!!! And I stand by that. :D <br /><br /><3 *hugs* <3 jonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401569094090026684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13925627.post-60878972276206721192017-05-15T09:02:13.900-05:002017-05-15T09:02:13.900-05:00Have you asked your pastor for the laying on of ha...Have you asked your pastor for the laying on of hands? Nice to quote James, but have you asked about that? Can't hurt, and it might be something they haven't considered before, at church. :)<br /><br />My diet does not allow legumes, as they contend that legumes cause inflammation. Peanuts are not nuts but legumes, so no peanuts. Also no cashews. So no lentil soup or split pea soup allowed, but lots of brazil nuts, and such. <br /><br />I don't know how you react in crowds, but you are permitted to be on the fringes. Watching, smiling, and so on. Remember that a lot of people have no idea how to talk to you. Cancer? What do I say? But that is similar to people who pull away from the bereaved. What do I say? Dead relative? Uhhhhh ....<br /><br />Be calm, smile, and know that you may be uncomfortable, but those other folks are, too. ;)<br /><br />*HUGS!* We're just visiting here, y'know. :D <3benninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12883327259794768568noreply@blogger.com
