Happy New Year?

{{{{{{{{{{ HUGGG }}}}}}}}}} What a horrible way to learn such a valuable lesson!!! Ms Sparky very eloquently spoke what we ALL feel!!! I hope you know that NO matter what it is that you need, your friends WILL be here for you!!! I know this one will!!! PM me anytime my dear friend!!! I NEVER make New Year's Resolutions simply because I disappoint myself when I break them!!! And I HATE it when that happens!!!

First let me say that I will certainly be praying for your health. I believe that we should live each day as if it is our last. However, many of us don't do that and we forget to live that way. I hope that this is the year that they find a cure for cancer!

I am so sorry to hear this bad news. What is your prognosis? A few weeks ago I shared in your good news about your kidney. I never knew about this new cancer diagnosis. I am truly sorry and wish you a complete recovery. You are so right about baubles and trinkets being meaningless. Generous with loving and caring is forever. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

"To be remembered for being generous and giving in love and spirit. We pass this way but once. Let's make the most of it." YOU my dear friend, have been doing this for me and many others since your presence first graced this site and we all flocked to you for your wit, kindness, sense of fair play and the old fashioned 'gentlemanliness' that you exude with every word and gesture. You will beat your cancer. I know it. You have already overcome obstacles just as great......... And you will continue to 'pass the way but once', making the most of every friendship you have garnered, in your own way that means so much to so many. As for me and this new year.........I struggle, but I too will overcome. With a role model like you, how could I not?!

hi pikey oh my gosh I am sorry and hope it has not spread. here I was feeling all sorry for myself as I am ill with a nasty case of flu. I can image this has really dampened the new year for you.But hopefully the cancer is still just in your kidney.I can see it makes you take a new prospective of your life.yes we all need to think of life like that,you are being very brave about it,I am sending prayers that its contained and not spread and that you will get well and lead a longer happy life again. I hope my fellow mylotters will join me in sending more prayers that your cancer is contained and can be readily cured and you go on for more happy years again. take care. God Bless.

Dear P1ke as you know I was shocked when I got the news about you being diagnosed with cancer. You know some more about your condition by now and I guess things will be all right with you and it will be quite easy to get that enemy out of the system. BTW I dont think you are living a selfish life. When you saw work life was not good for you you were willing to make do with less, rather do the housekeeping for a while so you can pick up the pieces and take time to recover first. Instead of then saying you got to make money and go back to what ever you are showing the cathedral to people and you guide them through it, thats something lovely to do. Hugs to you you know I am thinking of you often.......

I'm so sorry to hear this. One is never prepared for news like that. It certainly puts life into the proper perspective. I had cancer also, a different kind, so I know a little about how you feel.

Oh, p1key dear! Here's hoping that things turn out better. Take care and know we love you.

Those are things which we would all so well to aspire to, but unfortunately we get so tied up with trivialities that we forget the important things in life. I'm very sorry to hear the news of your diagnosis and wish you well.

I'm sorry to hear that P1key, not a good start to your new year. Am thinking of you, and hope that your next news is better than the last. I like your attitude, I think lots of people can learn from you, re: trinkets and baubles and things :) So far my year has been good. Working lots and planning a party for my daughter's birthday. You take care of yourself.

I guess your New Years Resolutions will be pretty easy for you, since you are already generous and giving in love and spirit. I think what you should be working on is what your resolutions will be in 2020!

Hello, Pikey. I'm so sorry to hear this. A dear friend of ours is now battling lymphoma for the second time in two years, so while I can't know what you're going through, I do know the effect it must be having on you and the family, as we are all trying to keep positive for our friend, and particularly for his wife. They have no family here in Spain, and although the treatment is first class, you need your family around you at a time like this. What I can tell you - although you may not believe it now - is that your sense of humour will help you through, because that's exactly what happened with our friend first time around, and it's happening again now. Once the reality has sunk in, the real person surfaces, and he is so much like you, I think you must have been twins who were separated at birth. Despite the prognosis - which is not good - we're sharing a lot of laughs. There are some tears as well of course, but the laughs are winning out. Once you know exactly what you're dealing with, and what's to be done about it, you'll feel better. It's the waiting around and uncertainty that really sucks. It's a battle, and once it's joined, things probably won't seem so bad as they do now. If good wishes can get you through this, mate, you'll be home and dry. You certainly have all my best wishes, and my prayers. I'll go and have a vodka to steady my nerves - thanks for the excuse!

Nooooooo!!!! Holy cr@p P1key, that's no good my friend. I know of plenty of people who have cured themselves of cancer with natural remedies, plus I have seen many documentaries on the subject where people have also had great success. So if you want some ideas, please feel free to ask. I will not bash these down your throat though as I know that some people prefer to go down the path of traditional western medicine. I have not much faith in it myself, but some do. If I was a religious man I would pray for your health, but I am not so I won't. But I do wish you the very best with this and I will be thinking of you. Get well mate and stay positive. Being positive is one of the keys to recovery. Believe you will be cured! :-)

i am so sorry to hear this P1ke and i wish it wasn't happening, you have the right attitude though, live each day as it comes, savor every moment, i do hope there's no more tumors growing either, you are in my thoughts xx

yep exactly ! the first week was good and then come week 2 snitches are out LOL they have been trying to ruin my efforts starting a new life after separation. what for? money of course. I let it go. and they are still trying to take more LOL with some health concerns need attending to, I'm not letting them ruin my health they can take the money, they will lose it either way I leave it to karma as I am living my life and attend to my health it's nothing like tumors but still hampering my efforts to get a job as I don't look /feel healthy and I can't focus

Hopefully things turn out for the best for you. As for me, the year is rather going to be something that is going rather well. Granted, its not great, but it has been rather steady. Then almost two weeks in and things are rather going a bit so, but by the end of January, into February certainly, there is a pretty good idea of what the year might bring. I do have my fingers crossed that this will be a year that will end up rather good. However, there have been times where I have found myself rather disappointed for a number of reasons. Let us hope that 2012 is going to be a year where it is most peaceful. I think that is really the best that many of us can hope for after what has been going on in the world. So let us hope for a good 2012 for all.

Sorry to hear about this, you will be in my prayers lol You go for the best possible treatment, but at the same time do breathing exercises as taught by Ramdev Baba of India regularly, am sure it will help Best of luck. Professor

omg i am so sorry your year started off that way. I hope you get well soon. Disease is the one thing I wish not even my enemies would suffer from :(( I hope you have a great year and a healthy one too My year has started off good i must say. I am back in school and things have been seeming to fall into places and I have been seeing a lot of opportunities. 2011 was so bad and I really hope it doesnt get repeated again and I hope 2012 is a great year for everyone!

I don't make New Year promises either, already not since years. My health is not great and I always hope just to get old enough that my little ones can do without me and remember me. Also I try to do as much as possible with them and show them a part of the world. This year I want to travel more which means: enjoy more. Am (and always was) way too busy with ...? But never with myself. You say: it's time to be less selfish.. but I think it's time be be more selfish. We seldom do what we really like and we all run out of time. I agree with you we should not fill our lives with baubles and trinkets... I hope the New Year will bring you something great. In the end it's not the quantity that counts but the quality. Blessings for you.
