It's been some years since I started this blog. Supposedly, it was only to share my plight as a cancer patient and survivor but over the years it has somehow evolved into something personal about my life and my family. So really glad to have met you all wonderful people out there. Someone commented once that he liked the title of this blog, Dreams and Escapes. Dream on, there are more things in life than we really think. Be happy, you only live once. Sometimes you also need an escape from the vicissitudes of life and this blog helps me cope. Welcome. Feel free to leave your comments, I do welcome them.

So Long

It’s been a while. I am reblogging this here from my main blog Dreams and Escapes. I hope you’ll find time to visit it to. My gosh, I got so excited when I saw it. There are several designs actually and all with Biblical passages. One of the vendors in our subdivision is selling them. […]
What A Surprise!
I can’t believe I haven’t touched and visited this blog like forever (an exaggeration of course) but I was so focused on updating my main blog so I forgot about this. Early this morning while I was watering the plants, I looked up at our jackfruit trees and saw this. I was hoping I could […]

Unfortunately, we rarely live in a fantasy world, where that ending is happy.
Crying is more the norm. Life has to be tackled, full-on.
Best wishes, Pete.

I used to think there should be an international holiday where we could all just have a good cry. Everyone has tears inside and often no place to let them flow.

Some feel people uncomfortable crying Elizabeth but it cleanses our souls.

Wisdom borne of pain and suffering. Most people who suffer greatly, suffer silently with a pleasant smile and cheery attitude. Others do not know how to relate to those in pain of any kind. Many act like suffering is something that is to be caught. Understanding and empathy is only genuine when offered by a someone who has also learned to live with suffering so deep that others have no capacity to experience and survive. I hope you are well my friend.

Hello Arlene,
It has been too long, I must agree. My health has been challenging the past few months. The Lord almost took me home at the end of June and I was in the hospital for a short bit. Nevertheless, my work must not be finished because here I remain. How have you been faring? Whether I am here or not I always keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Love and gentle hugs to you.

Sorry to hear about that Tina. Stay well. Praying for your health too. We are doing fine. Nate will be turning five on Nov. 22. Time flies! So glad to know that you are okay now. I’ve missed reading your writings too. Thanks a lot. Hugs back to you 🙂
