Rejoice



I want to shout it from the hills
and dance between the tears and thrills
and run around the neighborhood
sharing all the hugs of good

at least for now, some peace of mind
relief and hope are intertwined
solace glimmers future bright
calm the shiver fears of night

euphoric rays shine off the moon
lighting nightime's restful tune
the crystal calm of pleasure clear
deliverance from shades of fear

I want to share my glad rejoice
but laryngitis has stolen my voice

Lyra,
I can't imagine you could ever talk yourself into laryngitus. But I'll celebrate with you anyway!

Lyra~

Great big hugssss, this is just fantastic.....will continue to pray for you, and keep you close to heart...


Lauren~

I would rather have one breath of his hair,
one kiss of his mouth,
one touch of his hand
than an eternity without it.

You lifted me with the sound of your happiness, and I am forever grateful.
The signature of the artist glows within you.

Thanks so much, Noah....Its happy, happy, happy.....Its not sad at all.
The laryngitis is really not a big deal.
David has made some phone calls to family members for me...and I have whispered into the phone.  I must have a loud whisper because they could hear me.

Thanks so much, Janet Marie...it sure is different to be happy for a change...
I'm hoping that this lasts.  I still have to go through a biopsy on June 24 and I'm nervous about the results of that one.  But for now....I feel good except for my little cold and laryngitis which are both going away.

Thanks Larry...I actually didn't talk myself into the laryngitis.  I caught a cold from David...and I have a condition in my jaw which is caused by stress, and it hurts to blow my nose...so everything went back down to my throat and is sitting on my vocal cords....but its starting to clear up and my voice is partially back now.

Thanks so much, Lauren...I certainly appreciate it that you are continuing to pray for me because I still have that biopsy on June 24 looming before me....and I am going to be very anxious while I await the results of that.
In my heart and soul, I know the cancer is gone....but its still nervewracking and scary.

~ thank you for prayers hugs

Thanks so much, Eric...I am glad that I do have that pen to speak with...otherwise, I would feel totally stifled.

Thanks so much, Marti...I think it was all the prayers that did it...
Now I will still need them for that biopsy on June 24, which is supposed to finalize things as far as remission is concerned.
I am still nervous about the results of that one.
