It has come to my attention lately that I have been extremely negative. Time for a change. I see so easily how things are positive for others, but somehow get caught up in the ugh-factor of my own life. It kind of goes back to a few entries ago -- you can stand up better for other people's needs than for your own. I think the same is true here -- easier to see how there is a silver lining for others than for myself. I am thinking it is time to work on that. Happier posting to follow :-)
On a plus note: Jimmy met with his oncologist today and the initial diagnosis was wrong -- looks like it is cancer, but in the esophugus and tummy only. I know that is a lot, but the doc thinks he can remove the cancer surgically and treat with radiation to kill it for good. This is a MUCH better prognosis that original! Yay Jimmy!!!!

That is very exciting news for Jimmy. He seems like a nice guy.
In terms of negativity, we all tend to bemoan the trials in our own lives. I think it is only natural and we all could take the time out to see that we are truly blessed with so many wonderful things.
YAY! This is really, really good news!! How's that for a second chance, huh? I can't even imagine what it must be like to go from "Sorry, Sir - you're not gonna make it" to "Ooops, our bad... you might just have a fighting chance!"
Wow, I am so excited for Jimmy. Don't get me wrong and I am so happy for him, but how could they go from it is everywhere to oops our mistake it isn't? What an emotional roller coaster!!!! I just went through something like that with my mom.
I'm so thankful to hear that about Jimmy. I've had him on my mind since talking to Terry.
As for negativity, despair is very easy to settle into. The hardest part is finding good in the bad or picking up the bootstraps and start staggering forward. I don't see you as a negative person though. B)
That is so wonderful for your friend! See all those good thoughts and prayers you sent his way worked!
