But I have finally learned (well almost anyway!) from slowing down. I love what you father said about choosing between right & right!Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07963709066720628231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-41181399497895668272009-06-07T00:12:38.653+03:002009-06-07T00:12:38.653+03:00Keeping it simple is a good life motto which I am ...Keeping it simple is a good life motto which I am still trying to wrap my head around. Illness brings that into our faces- that we better build simplicity, or life will just get too hairy and unmanageable. Thoreau was the extreme example of that. I really think that illness, for me, has helped me to prioritize and keep things simpler. This after two years, though- it took a while to sink in. I just wrote about this tonight, myself. parallel universe?? :-)<br />Lots of hugs!!!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04944081107347417231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-44013022169196167242009-06-05T09:51:49.584+03:002009-06-05T09:51:49.584+03:00Oh, how I can relate to the time thing...

I've come to the conclusion that some people are "pack rats" when it comes time for scheduling -- "So much to do, so little time" is their constant drive. <br /><br />I feel this way all the time -- without cancer. I can only imagine...<br /><br />Anyone want to petition G-d for a 28-hour day (and a lot of other things as well)?<br /><br />I wish for you that you should always feel satisfaction from the things you choose to do, and not regret the things you don't.A Living Nadneydahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14365370597831368062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-30005738523755182022009-06-05T08:24:20.934+03:002009-06-05T08:24:20.934+03:00good advice, good man, your abba. now,one note: y...good advice, good man, your abba. now,one note: your solution ("throw out the schedule") is very much like james t. kirk's solution in order to graduate from the academy.

I should probably post about it some day. <br /><br />I loved going to school there. It was a good place for smart kids (and teachers) who did not "fit the mold."<br /><br /><br />Ricki's mom -- it sure is!! hugs help! :-)RivkA with a capital Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13666756210999804736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-45119371616144379672009-06-05T07:06:42.944+03:002009-06-05T07:06:42.944+03:00,,HUGS>> It is SO hard to accept those limit...,,HUGS>> It is SO hard to accept those limitations!rickismomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07817042750959998664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-26510340405885169542009-06-05T03:14:32.262+03:002009-06-05T03:14:32.262+03:00Your father sounds like a very wise man.
