And I'm going to go get that Billie Holiday song and give it a listen --- it's been a long time.<BR/><BR/>Can I share with you one of my most inspirational mantras? I don't know how you're currently feeling or how this will sound to you, but whenever I get knocked down, I say this to myself:<BR/><BR/>"Seven times down, eight times up."<BR/><BR/>It acknowledges that I've been knocked down AND encourages me not to give up and to get up.<BR/><BR/>Keep on keepin' on, Patry.

This post just throws you right over the top into the MOST amazing of the amazing, that you can write a post as beautiful as this with all you have going on. I have to tell you that my heart feels heavy tonight thinking of you having to have more surgery. I am going to say a prayer for you tonight that you are just soaked in all the love that you give out and that is felt for you clearly by so many all over the world and I am going to hold a very clear space in my heart for you to come back to Portland feeling so very healthy again and free of pain and you will get a very gigantic hug followed by cupcakes and a deluxe tour of Portland this next time around. I wish you were closer so that we all could come visit you but you are sitting at the top of my heart tonight. xoxoAlex Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02109059018269508607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695927.post-56544358170678035462008-03-19T19:58:00.000-07:002008-03-19T19:58:00.000-07:00loving you, loving you right now! . . . patry you ...loving you, loving you right now! . . . patry you are just one gorgeous hunka womanhood, you know that??? i read your words and take a deep breath, a deep sigh of Yes, and i am so so grateful for your presence in the world . . . shine on sister :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695927.post-63084061444190732292008-03-19T18:31:00.000-07:002008-03-19T18:31:00.000-07:00As always, good thoughts into the aether for you.R...As always, good thoughts into the aether for you.<BR/>Really good thoughts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695927.post-23748101001634250412008-03-19T17:53:00.000-07:002008-03-19T17:53:00.000-07:00Patry, I could fill this little square that blogge...Patry, I could fill this little square that blogger gives me to type my "comment" just repeating the words, Be well my friend.
