I guess we just have to keep plugging away at it anyway.

In the face of it, keep diving deeper into it, which can be the first step toward acceptance than change- because you have to acknowledge it before anything can change. Wish I could take some of this burden from you. Please keep sharing the truth. It's good to know how you are doing- both good and bad. xoxoaideeladyaideelladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05745711594093512802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769752025782368695.post-80096299503633640682008-12-08T19:15:00.000-08:002008-12-08T19:15:00.000-08:00...a while after i posted, i went out for a few ho......a while after i posted, i went out for a few hours in the dirt on the cross-bike & i was thinking of you, sir...<BR/><BR/>...i realized the one thing you need & can't yet create is that beautiful & healthy dose of adrenaline & endorphins that comes w/ a good bike ride (or run or whatever)...that would go such a long way towards making you feel so much better...<BR/><BR/>...there's no substitute for it & yet at this point you can only live vicariously through your friends mentioning their miles...& while you've proven to have such great depth to your character as to be able you appreciate that, well again, it's a poor substitute for the real thing...<BR/><BR/>...just <B>WIN, spencer</B> & know that every one of us can't help but carry you on our rides...<BR/><BR/>...as i said, love ya like a brother...bikesgonewildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01489983012589939600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769752025782368695.post-48653071021983074262008-12-08T18:39:00.000-08:002008-12-08T18:39:00.000-08:00spencer-i won't pretend to know what you are g...spencer-i won't pretend to know what you are going through, but one of many sayings we had in the marines when things started to suck-reach down and grab ahold! or you can say what napoleon said at the battle of waterloo..."f%@# those motherf&%*#!s.<BR/>freerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769752025782368695.post-50999093771073914142008-12-08T17:49:00.000-08:002008-12-08T17:49:00.000-08:00You looked great this afternoon Spence and it's no...You looked great this afternoon Spence and it's not how you feel, it's how you look and you look Mahvelous! I know my crappy sense of humor does nothing for you right now but I'm going to share it anyway because inappropriateness is what I'm all about some days. Also, I just want to remind you that Kaiser has been pumping toxic chemicals into your body for a year and you are still standing, and not only standing, breathing, living but giving Cancer the finger. Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger and while the saying may get old over and over, keep filling your cup with that particular flavor of piss and vinegar. Winter Solstice 2009. I'll be there. And you will get back "to all that other stuff" if you want to. It may not be tomorrow and it may not be Wednesday, but it will be. Period. It's not the Mountain in front of you, but the sand in your shoe. Stay strong and wake up to a brand new day tomorrow.
