Thank...Hello Sheila, <BR/><BR/>First off, welcome to my blog! Thanks for your comments.<BR/>I don't know that there's a plan in the conventional sense, but I truly believe that we affect events and outcomes in our lives through the attitudes we project to others, and those that we use to sustain us to the core of our being. It's just the old good vibe-bad vibe dynamic, I suppose.<BR/>Thanks for your good vibes!!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15133620064728357184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19108210.post-1137105095477714812006-01-12T17:31:00.000-05:002006-01-12T17:31:00.000-05:00When I was younger, I was very existential in my t...When I was younger, I was very existential in my thinking: there was no plan, and the only meaning our lives had was that which we chose personally, and also in that process of searching and choosing. A coincidence was just that, and I found people who saw deeper meaning in everything to be rather annoying. That the universe (orderly though it may be) was without a plan seemed glaringly obvious to me.<BR/><BR/>Then later in life I started paying better attention, and for a while I think I was on the right path for me (I was on a roll!), and suddenly the synchronicities became too much for me to dismiss as mere coincidence. I kept meeting the right people at the right time, one good thing led to another...<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, you surely seem to be sending out the right sort of energy. Here's sending some back your way :)Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260392191633104316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19108210.post-1136956383156574102006-01-11T00:13:00.000-05:002006-01-11T00:13:00.000-05:00Hello Anu,Thanks so much for your beautiful wishes...Hello Anu,<BR/>Thanks so much for your beautiful wishes! I wish the same for you, now and always!<BR/><BR/>Hi Kitty,<BR/>I agree with what you say. I also think we're all walking up the same mountain.<BR/><BR/>Hi Chris H,<BR/>Many thanks!

(I wrote that and then looked at the top of the page and saw again what you'd named this post :)).<BR/><BR/>We're all doing this ... I'm seeing us each walking along on our separate pathways, and we know the others are there on their paths. The pathways wind around sometimes, come together and then diverge. Every now and then we look over at each other, wave, share what's going on, hold hands sometimes. It's comforting to know I've got companions, even though I know I can't do it for them and they can't do it for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19108210.post-1136909124732212512006-01-10T11:05:00.000-05:002006-01-10T11:05:00.000-05:00Hi JZD, Yes, choosing not to fight is the flip si...Hi JZD,<BR/> Yes, choosing not to fight is the flip side of the coin.<BR/>But with my health situation, I think that eternal vigilence is the price of being sick. At least that's the approach I'm going to take for now.<BR/><BR/>Hello LB,<BR/>As always, thanks so much for your encouragement. Have a great time in Kansas!<BR/><BR/>Hey g,<BR/>I agree completely. We can make ourselves receptive to positive things, or we can block them, and it's all in our frame of mind.<BR/>I think there's a lot to be said for "good vibes" and "bad vibes." It's not pseudoscience.<BR/><BR/>Hey Kim,<BR/>Seems like you and g are on the same wavelength. And, as ever, thanks for your good wishes!!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15133620064728357184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19108210.post-1136903952901154712006-01-10T09:39:00.000-05:002006-01-10T09:39:00.000-05:00"when we maifest compassion, wonderful things can ..."when we maifest compassion, wonderful things can happen."<BR/><BR/>this is great news for you to have another researcher and another possibly helpful drug on your side.<BR/><BR/>i don't try to over-analyze either, but i do notice the phenomenon of drawing certain people and energies into our orbit.<BR/><BR/>i'm sorry to hear about your test results, though. i wish you the very best of luck.<BR/><BR/>luck is such a strange word, it doesn't quite capture what i'm really wishing for you, but not believing in god or any plan for the universe, i feel like it's all i have. let's just say, i'm wishing you good things!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06463089552144925514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19108210.post-1136884939781102812006-01-10T04:22:00.000-05:002006-01-10T04:22:00.000-05:00I loved the last line...its so true...in so many a...I loved the last line...its so true...in so many aspects of life...<BR/><BR/>hang on to the hope...you are a team effort :)LBseahaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05797945283850468976noreply@blogger.com
