Thanks, Svenn.  It's good to be reminded. This seemed like the perfect place to post this e-mail that I got today.
The Best Prayer I Have Heard In A Long Time...
Help us remember
that the jerk who cut us off in traffic
last night is a single mother who
worked nine hours that day and
is rushing home to cook dinner,
help with homework,
do the laundry and spend a
few precious moments
with her children.
Help us to remember that the
pierced, tattooed, disinterested
young man who can't make
change correctly is a worried
19-year-old college student,
balancing his apprehension
over final exams with his
fear of not getting his
student loans for next semester.
Remind us, that the scary looking bum,
begging for money in the same
spot every day (who really ought
to get a job!) is a slave to addictions
that we can only imagine in our
worst nightmares.
Help us to remember that the
old couple walking annoyingly
slow through the store aisles
and blocking our shopping
progress are savoring this
moment, knowing that,
based on the biopsy report
she got back last week, this
will be the last year that they
go shopping together.
Remind us each day that,
of all the gifts you give us,
the greatest gift is love.
It is not enough to share
that love with those
we hold dear.
Open our hearts not to
just those who are
close to us,
but to all humanity.
Let us be slow to judge
and quick to forgive,
show patience,
empathy and
love.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

How about 'THANKSGIVING." I know that if this was Italy I'd be hit by rotten tomatoes for suggesting such a word, BUT feeling normal on the left side of my head , makes me thankful that I can fully appreciate what normal really feels like. I will never ever make excuses when I am out of a cycle !!!

Nani that was a very beautiful prayer! It reminds me of life day in and day out at the hospital in Philadelphia. It's easy to get frustrated but important to remember....until we walk a mile in another man's shoes...
My favorite thought when I need to recenter about such things is: Everybody is loved by somebody, even if that somebody is no longer around. Try to get past the part of the person that bothers you and look for the thing that makes them lovable....everybody has it. Everybody was somebody's child.
Been trying to view people that way since I was rather young. It really helped a lot.

I should be ashamed of myself.
It is a nice thread and nice stuff too.
The Einstein quote reminded me of Robin Williams when he said the it's hard being a genius. Why do you think Einstein looks like that?

Okay, adding
I believe if we accept people with their individuality, and we refrain from passing judgement, we will see into them and find a person we can value rather than condemn.........
It's just too easy to pass judgement.
