A collective sigh of relief -- elections are over and the Dems are victorious. Woo hoo! As of this posting, we're still waiting to hear about the Senate (right now it's a tie), but either way, GWB got a swift kick in the you-know-what. Now let's hope they don't squander away the opportunity. Both parties have had an unfortunate history of that in recent years. Anyway, I'm glad it's over...elections are so harrowing!
My friend N just told me that he has cancer. That makes me so sad. I'm sure he'll come through it just fine, because he's strong and fiesty. But I'm sad that he has to go through all the radiation treatments and such and wish I could somehow fix it all for him. All I can do is to be there, I guess. And I promised to send him distance Reiki to help speed his recovery. Hey, it can't hurt.
I wonder whether we'll see a cure for cancer in our lifetime. That sure would be a wonderful thing, wouldn't it? Cures for HIV/AIDS and obesity would also be pretty awesome. Aw, hell...let's just cure everything while we're at it!
A little haiku on this theme:
Diseases claim lives
Living through them makes us strong
Is strong a good thing?
