Perspective

Namaste! Salaam! Word to Yo Mutha! And HIGHEST blessings to everyone!! It’s Sai Baba’s birthday, today. We always celebrate it, at my house. Om Sai Ram. Baba’s cool to us because of his encouragement of ALL religious beliefs and his charity efforts with millions of people in India, supplying water and free medical, etc. So, happyhappy birthday, Yo!
Also, this week finds American Thanksgiving underway. There is so much for us all to be thankful for!!!! Fuck yeah!!!
(But, remember: a turkey has nothing to be thankful fOr!!! Just sayin.) Don’t forget to check out http://VegCooking.com for some nummy ideas that are “non-harming”)
Today I wanted to share with you a photograph I took, that I keep on my camera, never erasing it (one of many). I took this photograph (above) this year, as I was nearing the end of my 17 Herceptin rounds.
It is a very important visual reminder, for me personally, of where I have been this year….and where I may return (as one never knows)
It keeps me in check. Keeps my perspective correct and real. I’m grateful to see it and look at it everytime I get bummed or anxious or overwhelmed with any of life’s trivialities. Word!
It keeps me grounded if I need help and brings me back to reality.
Positivity is about perspective.
True dat.
Because, as the saying goes: “It could always be worse”. And, it COULD! LOL!
So make the MOST and make the BEST of everything you git handed. Keep your perspective. It is actually being “mindful” and you will, naturally, be simply grateful for everylittle thing, every day.
Its waaaaaaaay better to walk around feeling happy for just about everything. Why not?
Thanksgiving is giving thanks.
I am, as ever, thankful for you guys. Om Nama Shivaya. I am grateful for Nicklas and everyone I know. Grateful that I don’t have an ostomy bag (not that there’s anything “wrong” with that) and grateful that my sink makes clean water (technically) with which I brush my bubblegum-soiled-soon-to-be-compromised-from-the-sugar teeth, and grateful for the roof over me head where I snuggle with my babydog every night, etc.etc.etc. (You get the picture)
Perspective, Friends. It’s what we’re having for Thanksgiving Dinner. Okay, and papayas (I won’t eat Tofurkey, myself, but I will cook the tofu for my friends.)
Happy SaiBaba’s Birthday to you all!
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
Happy Everything with a cherry on top! May you have a fuckingfantastic week!!!!! Bliss and lovey Blessings to you. Skate or Die. GabbaGabbaHey. Hare Krishna.
Love,
Biffy

being single and alone for the holidays, maybe a turkey dinner would be nice? but i don’t usually eat turkies, silly birds dont have any wings. better to leave them be.

sometimes i cant believe what you’ve been through and been able to maintain a positive attitude – sometimes i wonder if you cry alone in your bed just needing to let it all out so that you ‘can’ keep being positive.. somtimes i sorely wish i could take you out for a chai latte -double spiced, and sometimes i wish i could hug you – most often though i wish i had known you or someone like u when i was at my lowest – i think it would have helped me much… i hope that you take care of yourself. as u said, one never knows right? but do everything you can on your own, to try make sure it doesnt come back. my hat’s off to you
