| Good morning all, I hope things are well with you all. We had a massive thunderstorm come through the other day. Just a single giant cell that came over and dumped a good three inches of rain in a half an hour along with a bunch of hail. The high winds and lightning just added to the effect. And then as the storm moved off and the sun peaked out, a beautiful double rainbow appeared off in the distance, shimmering in the newly found sun. It reminded me of just how small we humans are when it comes to nature. Thing is, our universe lives within our own perceptions. It’s probably the only way we could stay sane. After all, just thinking of the vastness of nature is a hard concept to grasp. This is why in a way we create our own environment around us. We cope with as much as our brains will allow us to cope with. I think when something like a diagnoses for hepatitis C hits us that we close our universe even more tightly around us. This isn’t really a bad thing. It’s just something we do in order to grasp all that is happening to us. By shrinking what we see, we’re able to fight the beast more effectively because we have less of a world to process. So never think that you’ve become to centered on yourself during treatments. This simply isn’t true. What your doing is exactly what you should be doing. Fighting with every ounce of strength that you have in order to win. Shrinking that perception so that all of your energy can be focused on winning your life back! The same perceptions will return when you finish this task. Never forget that nothings really changed in the world. It’s just us who have changed for a little while and when we return and once again widen our perception we’ll be able to smile for you see, what we’ve done is almost the same as a butterfly emerging from a cocoon and taking flight for the first time on wings of happiness. But first we have to allow the time for change. . . Chuck |

14890.1 Good morning my friends, The other day I was sitting and looking up at the mountains and thinking of the season of fall coming up that will soon turn to winter. In a way this brings some desire to see the summer continue and in a wistful way wish that it could all be lived again. The flowers popping up to delight us. The soothing cool breeze flowing over the face on a hot summer night. The warmth of the landscape as morning turns into day. And then the thought occurred to me that every ending is a new beginning. And every beginning is a new chance at life or health or love or just about anything that we can imagine. And the progression continues, creating new things every time another phase ends. To me this means a lot. When we face trials in our lives, they usually have a distinct beginning and a distinct ending. We have to spend our time going through that phase in our lives but sooner or later it ends and a new phase begins. So often what we do during the current phase in ...
