I mean for goodness sake stop whining!!! Think about those who really have something to be upset about... I sincerely feel your frustration there!!!<br /><br />I know this might now sound like much, but you have honestly touched the lives of so many people through your online presence and your blog. You give courage to those in a similar situation and hope to others. <br /><br />I personally read your blog as often as I can (I only figured out how to comment today so I will do it more soon I promise!) but I feel that it needs to be said that even though you can feel very alone (and that only you can ever really understand what that is like...) there are people you have never met, people who find you inspirational who always wish you the best. I often find myself wondering about you recently when you went quiet and wondering what's the latest in Karen's world - so you see, there are people all over the world who think of you and send you positive energy and well wishes at all times. So when you aren't strong enough to do it yourself, stay positive in the knowledge that there will be others sending out positive thoughts for you.<br /><br />I think a wise man once said that depression is just a sign that you have been strong for too long...<br /><br />Stay strong... “Success is not final, failure is not fatal – it is courage to continue that counts”<br /><br />Best Wishes,<br /><br />C<br /><br />xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12814338130426686626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1913869049259199368.post-47777988986611751522012-05-24T16:27:21.042+01:002012-05-24T16:27:21.042+01:00Beautiful, you have been inspiring me since... wha...Beautiful, you have been inspiring me since... what? February 2009?(or was it 2010?) ...anyhoo, I have learned so much from you about REAL LIVING.... being myself, and loving it, determining what is most important, and so on...... you are a true gem, a gift to us that know you from our Lord, and I am in all seriousness when I say this.<br /> Were it not for you, many sisters across this world would have been at a loss time and again for how to deal with so much.... as I said in your video, you make beating beating cancer and staying gorgeous look easy, and THAT IS JUST THE TROUBLE! People do not realize the toll it takes to think about how others will feel seeing us look all kinds of sick, and to spare THEIR feelings, put ourselves thru a ritual that is time consuming and bothersome.<br /><br />I find beauty of a different kind shining thru those blue eyes of yours, whether they are shaded and lined and highlighted, or just looking back at me with your beautifully shaped head above and around them.<br /><br />You, my friend, have taught me how to free myself from the expectations of others (YUP, ALL YOUR FAULT THAT I AM THE NUTBAG I AM TODAY) and to redefine the idea that I have of beauty..... <br /><br />REAL BEAUTY IS THERE ETERNALLY, IN MEMORIES AND ACTIONS AND WORDS SPOKEN, DEEDS DONE FOR THE GOOD OF ANOTHERS SOUL......it just so happens that you are gorgeous to begin with and your beauty is of an ethereal quality when combined with the inner ...... almost too brilliant to fathom or truly appreciate.<br />I LOVE YOU KAREN, WHAT'S MORE I RESPECT AND LOOK UP TO YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY ABOUT ALL OF LIFE AND HOW YOU DEAL WITH IT .<br />gIrLz RuLe <3sher <3sharandabumgardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08134680773904982814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1913869049259199368.post-52790050649706708292012-05-23T19:23:06.000+01:002012-05-23T19:23:06.000+01:00Dear Karen, I am thinking about you and worrying a...Dear Karen, I am thinking about you and worrying about you and most of all feeling for you. The pain and the depression and the workings of dealing with other people and their frailties are so hard, so painful. But I am hoping for you still. I remember my husband and my sister telling me that when my hope had run out...know that there are people that are hoping for you when you just can't. I am sorry for the pain that has been caused, physically and mentally. Just know that you have touched and blessed me and many others.
