Was That Bells I Heard Ringing??

Was That Bells I Heard Ringing?? I've always loved the story of George Bailey, (It's a Wonderful Life), as he journeyed through his "dark valley" of life where he questions the validity, meaning and purpose of one so "inconsequential" such as he. It is the sweetest of endings when he stands in his living room ready to face whatever may come, surrounded by his family and friends who love him for the man that he is. He knows that whatever the future holds he can survive it because they will be there to hold him in love. I know now what it is to wake up "tomorrow" only to find out that it's really been 11 days and no one was quite sure I would be waking up at all. If you have no idea what I'm talking about here's a quickie version. Jan 27 my friend and neighbor took me to the ER because I was having trouble breathing after fighting a "chest cold" all week. As it turned out, I had pneumonia in both of my lungs which turned into something else far more dangerous and came very close to killing me. I spent 11 days in the ICU hooked up to a ventilator with 30 Doctors trying to figure out what I had, and how to fix it. Four of those doctors spent every day after the "wake up" telling me how lucky I was to be alive and after another seven days in the hospital I was finally allowed to go home. It's a bit overwhelming to know how close death was and how desperately it fought to have me. I remember fighting and being so tired and even scared...but refusing to give in. I truly believe that all the love sent my way, all the prayers lifted up, all the thoughts and healing energy sent through universe are what gave me the strength I needed to fight. Thank you seems hardly enough for such a gift. Thank you to my dear Sister Wind, _Safira, for her beautiful words of love, her unfailing faith, and her pure stubbornness in believing that the only outcome would be me...back to health, back to "normal". (Well, our version of normal anyway...) So...while my "dark valley" was a little different than George's...it was scary and dark and I thank you for "standing in the gap" for me. I was able to go back to work this week on half day scheduling, and I'm well on my way to full recovery. I have a sincere and new outlook on life and can once again sing my favorite song, "Don't worry...every lil thing, is gonna be all right...". I'm also pretty sure I finally figured out what all those bells ringing on the 9th of February were...go ahead...turn around now and admire those beautiful wings that you earned. Blessed be and may you know the love you showed to me in triples.  ellee aka Impish Pixie  I make mistakes, I am out of control & at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best. ~Marilyn |

That's why I'm more likely to go to the doctor in my recent years. Things have a way of getting out of control! Glad you've returned with bells on!   "You can't fix stupid...."

Good to see you back on top. My heart attack gave me a serious brush with death. Life is just too short to deal with some of the stuff we still make ourselves deal with. Mortality Sucks  I had a dream my life would be So different from this hell I'm living So different now from what it seemed Now life has killed the dream I dreamed    RAInBow
