"I have Bipolar Disorder II" (Jodelle)

MDJunction to me

neshama48"Having Crohn's Disease for over 26 years, in the first few years, it lonely and isolating.
Though now my disease is in a near perfect remission, my friends and family are sympathetic to me, but I can not talk to them about this disease. When I stumbled across MD Junction, and met others who had the same disease I was not alone in battling the disease. MD Junction is like a second family, without the judgement or guilt of having Crohn's Disease, but they do give you love and support.

Sweet earth angel Clarita, am going to sticky this so it will linger awhile. I think it will touch the heart of those who read it. We all need to know that there are angels in our lives, in many forms, including you and all the wonderful and amazing angels here in this group. Love forever and always a most protective and faithful angel. oops! forgot to sign Blush Blush Karen

What Do Angels Look Like?

© 1990, Veronica M. Hay

Like the little old lady who returned your wallet yesterday.

Like the taxi driver who told you that

your eyes light up the world, when you smile.

Like the small child who showed you

the wonder in simple things.

Like the poor man who offered

to share his lunch with you.

Like the rich man who showed you it

really is all possible, if only you believe.

Like the stranger who just happened to come along,

when you had lost your way.

Like the friend who touched your heart,

when you didn't think you had one left to touch.

Angels come in all sizes and shapes,

All ages and skin types.

Some with freckles, some with dimples,

some with wrinkles, some without.

They come disguised as friends, enemies,

teachers, students, lovers and fools.

They don't take life too seriously,

They travel light.

They leave no forwarding address,

They ask for nothing in return.

They wear sneakers with gossamer wings,

They get a deal on dry cleaning.

They are hard to find when your eyes are closed, But

They are everywhere you look when you choose to see.

That's really touching, Clarita. So true, Rachele
Having the courage to walk step by step each day.

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind always be on your back.
May the sun lie warm upon your face.
And until we meet again,
May the Lord hold you
In the hollow of His hand.

Im loving memory of my mom, 2007: My hero, The Wind Beneath My Wings

Massive thanks to all my earth angels here which happen to include my most fine Group Leader Team in John, Ann, Karen & Doris- love you guys equally as well as whole heartedly plus am very grateful to each one of your fantastic selves!!

Huge thanks to my brother Rick- you have been an earth angel to me recently, too, most definitely!

Am very challenged with fibromyalgia, back pains from my scoliosis as well as hayfever right now so will not be around too much over the next few days as need time out to heal/rest up as have high pains plus a myriad of symptoms. Have much fibro fog as well as fatigue, too!

Please be patient with me. Will be back as soon as possible, promise you all.

Will be asking heaven to send plenty of angels plus earth angels to every single one of you here that is for certain!!

I have to agree, we are surrounded by many earth angels here. Some we have known a long while and some that have just flown into are life. I have a special earth angel that flies on delicate bat wings. Gentle hugs to all of our angels.
The big guy, John.

Have a long cry, say a short prayer, move on with life.

Sanity calms, but madness is more interesting.

Ann,John, Doris & Karen- Massive heartfelt thanks to each one of you for being such wonderful earth angels to this jaded batgirl right now! Am in high pains, much fibrofog, very tired plus have very little energies right now.

Please everyone here continue to be patient with me- may take a little time to answer your posts or be present here properly yet need to take some time out to rest properly as well as heal!! Health is fairly delicate.

Angels are all around us- just open up your eyes then you will see them!
