The New Timeline

Although I am moving away from Facebook because I don't like how it works anymore, I am somewhat taken by the new "Timeline" feature if only because it allows me to look at what I posted over the four years ago since I first joined. Refreshing my memory and re-reading My Notes has given me a new perspective on my writing work. I expect to repost my personal notes here, where I can control them to a certain extent, over the next several days and weeks. They will appear in reverse date order and, because of the way this blog posts Posts, they will have the original dae embedded within them rather than as a definer on the post title. Let's go!

We don't really know what the rules are.

We don't really know what the rules are. We don't know why we dodge a cancer bullet or why we don't. We don't know why it takes some of us while our babies are still babies and why it may leave those same babies to grow to be very old women and men. We don't know why cancer means we will never have babies or why we must leave our loved ones far too soon. The one thing that we can know is that we are each unique and we have a special touch of the Divine all our own that that we can share with those we love. It serves no good purpose to keep that unique spark of the Divine to ourselves. It's our right, our privilege and our true purpose to share that Gift as much 

as we can as long as we are able.
