My inspiration.

[sheddie]

The lady who lives opposite me is in her early forties and has a husband and two small girls, she has been struggling with bone cancer most of this year. She has lost her hair then it has regrown, she always has a cheery hello to say and her bright lippy on, even when you can see she's far from well.She used to be a sports woman and has now had a hand rail fitted outside her front door to help her up a couple of steps. Those children do not miss out on a thing, she takes them everywhere and is living life to the full.She never talks or complains about her illness and is an absolute inspiration to me and I hope to you. So you see what we are perhaps worrying about, is it so important after all?:confused:

Very well said sheddie.People like this lady are a wonderful example of what faith,hope,and positive thinking can do;most of our problems pale into insignificance compared to the problems of someone like that and it certainly puts life into perspective doesn't it.

[sheddie]

I think her courage and positive outlook are just amazing!! X

people like that are amazing and an inspiration to us all.they say you dont know what inner strengths you have till you need them.

Now I feel ashamed for moaning about my sickness!

[sheddie]

Don't feel ashamed mrsj it's a seperate thing. Her little girl sang to me yesterday a song called bananas in pyjamas coming down the stairs, she made me laugh!!X

[mrsj]

Oh I know that song, I used to sing it when I was little (and sometimes I still sing it ha ha)!

My neighbour I spoke of has put a card in my box of a beautiful country church.She came in my house and saw I use an old pine box for a coffee table and storage and loved it, so I have given her a similar one from my 'props' days. She has written on the card, thanks for being such a fantastic neighbour. I feel quite proud.

Good for you sheddie,there should be more 'good neighbours' like you around,what a lovely thing to do and you deserve to be proud.

You've got a lovely reason for being proud of yourself Sheds!:)
