Hi, I just found out that I have leukemia and am having a rough time, I was wondering if anybody had some encouraging quotes, or quotes about things getting better in the future. Thanks.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope some of these might help.

"Life's tear shaped moments slip away like pearls to death's hands."
In other words, soon this will just be a horrible nightmare.

"When you have come to the edge of all the light you have, and must take a step into the darkness of the unknown,
Believe that one of two things will happen to you:
Either there will be something solid for you to stand on, or,
You will be taught how to fly."

"Look to this day.
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow only a vision.
But today well lived,
Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and
Every tomorrow a vision of hope."

"Courage does not always roar. More often it is the quiet voice that whispers at the end of the day 'i will try again tomorrow.'"

"To know that others have walked a similar road may not make the difficulties of the journey easier, but should give us hope." - Unknown.

"Life is like a movie...write your own ending." - The Muppet Movie. (Don't give in, make your life what you want no matter what the obstacles)

"Do not go gently into that good night." - Dylan Thomas.

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined." - Henry David Thoreau.

This is a poem my friend mailed me.
"My Wish For You
I wish...
You happiness on a cloudy day
Blue skies to chase your cares away
A breath of fresh air when your feeling down
Anything to get rid of that frown
A sprinkle of rain
And a life free of pain
I wish you warmth from the rays of the sun
And a lifetime of joy and fun
Just keep those eyes to the sky
And know that i am always nearby."

These are the opening credits to 'Enterprise' i love them

"I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me.
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything.
I've got strength of the soul
And no-one's gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star, i've got faith, i've got, i've got, i've got faith - faith of the heart."

I hope i've been of some help and i wish you all the best for the future. Keep fighting. Don't give up. And follow your dreams.

Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. I bet it must be rough. Here are some quotes that I've collected and I hope they help you.


"Discouraged? Just remember that the darkest night did not turn down all the stars."

"Man is harder than iron, stronger than stone, and more fragile than a rose." ~Turkish proverb

"Don't tell God how big your problems are... tell your problems how big your God is."

"Faith is believing in something that sometimes doesn't seem logical."


I don't know if those will help, but I will try to find more for you.

Hello, Here's a story that I think you may enjoy!

Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood
and always has something positive to say: When someone would ask him how
he was doing, He would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!"
He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Michael
was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the
situation.
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to
Michael and asked him, "I don't get it! You can't be a positive person
all of the time. How do you do it?"
Michael replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two
choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to
be in a bad mood. I choose to be in a good mood.
Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I choose
to
learn from it. I choose to learn from it.
Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their
complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the
positive side of life.
"Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested.
"Yes, it is," Michael said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut
away all the junk, every situation is a choice.
You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people affect
your mood. Your bottom line: It's your choice how you live life."
I reflected on what Michael said. Soon thereafter, I left the Tower
Industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought
about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.
Several years later, I heard that Michael was involved in a serious
accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower.
After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Michael was
released
from the hospital with rods placed in his back.
I saw Michael about six months after the accident. When I asked him how
he was, he replied. "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Wanna see my
scars?"
I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through
his mind as the accident took place.
"The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my soon
to be born daughter," Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground, I
remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could
choose to die. I chose to live."
Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked.
Michael continued, "...the paramedics were great. They kept telling me
I
was
going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the
expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared.
In
their eyes, I read "he's a dead man. I knew I needed to take action."
"What did you do?" I asked.
"Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me," said
Michael.
"She asked if I was allergic to anything. "Yes, I replied." The doctors
and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep
breath and yelled, "Gravity."
Over their laughter, I told them, "I am choosing to live. Operate on me
as if I am alive, not dead."
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of
his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the
choice to live fully.
Attitude, after all, is everything.
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about
itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. After all today is the
tomorrow you worried about yesterday.
You have two choices now:
1. Delete this.
2. Forward it to the people you care about. I hope you will choose #2. I
did.
ENJOY LIFE - IT'S THE ONLY ONE YOU GET !!! ____________________________________________

"Quote me as saying I was misquoted." --Groucho Marx

Okay, I found another one. Actually, I was searching for a card at Wal-Mart and I found this on a Precious Moments card.


IN HIS TIME

(outside)
Sometimes we're discouraged
and it's hard to understand
the reasons why things don't work out
exactly like we've planned...

But underneath the surface
is a purpose we don't know,
and we can trust God's promises
to make our blessings GROW!

(inside)
So just hang on a little while
with patience and with prayer
and you may find a precious gift
you didn't know was there!

Hope that helps!

~BlondieBabe82~

I've learned.... That it's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.

I've learned... That under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.

I've learned.... That the Lord didn't do it all in one day. What makes me think I can?

I've learned.... That to ignore the facts does not change the facts.

I've learned.... That when you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you.

I've learned.... That love, not time, heals all wounds.

I've learned.... That the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am.

I've learned.... That one should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them.

I've learned.... That a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.

I've learned.... That I can't choose how I feel, but I can choose what I do about it.

I've learned.... That when your newly born grandchild holds your little finger in his little fist, that you're hooked for life.

I've learned.... That everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.

I've learned ... That it is best to give advice in only two circumstances; when it is requested and when it is a life threatening situation.

I've learned.... That the less time I have to work with, the more things I get done. To all of you....

ever
seen
before. For whom do you mourn so deeply? A

himself,

replied, "My wife's first husband."

hey,
Sorry about your situation. my deepest sympathies.
I can offer you some advice, though. a few years ago i was diagnosed with manic depression, poly substance abuse, borderline personality disorder, and schizophrenia. i was put in treatment and released 14 months later. while i was in there i went crazy. i used to be a cocaine addict. i thought i was dying. One day i was in therapy and it dawned on me. I was sick. i needed help. but the only thing i could do was harm myself to escape from the pain. i didnt take my pills. so i hid them. one day i took all of them... i swear, i took about 200 pills. when i was in detox a few days later i realized that the people around me werent in the best shape so i decided i had to change or i would me locked up forever. so when i got back to treatment i was on the internet looking at something(I dont really remember), but it said not to give up. make the best of life no matter how much time you have left. well, i scrolled down and saw the following quote. "The voice in your head is only as loud as the silence that surrounds you."~Anon.
later on i realized that i can control the things around me i just didnt want to so i do what i want. i,now, am having the time of my life. so my advice to you is to enjoy your time, and not to give up.... i almost did.

“If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity it would be this: Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and when it comes, hold you head high, look it squarely in eye and say, 'I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me.'”-Ann Landers

“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along. You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” -Eleanor Roosevelt

“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.” -Shawshank Redemption

“There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.” -Carl Jung


Good Timber
by Douglas Malloch

The tree that never had to fight
For sun and sky and air and light,
But stood out in the open plain
And always got its share of rain,
Never became a forest king
But lived and died a scrubby thing.

The man who never had to toil
To gain and farm his patch of soil,
Who never had to win his share
Of sun and sky and light and air,
Never became a manly man
But lived and died as he began.

Good timber does not grow with ease:
The stronger wind, the stronger trees;
The further sky, the greater length;
The more the storm, the more the strength.
By sun and cold, by rain and snow,
In trees and men good timbers grow.

Where thickest lies the forest growth,
We find the patriarchs of both.
And they hold counsel with the stars
Whose broken branches show the scars
Of many winds and much of strife.
This is the common law of life.


“Bottom line is, even if you see them coming, you’re not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So, what are we, helpless? Puppets? Nah. The big moments are gonna come, you can’t help that. It’s what you do afterwards that counts. That when you find out who you are.” –Buffy the Vampire Slayer

“When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always be worse, and when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better.” -Malcolm S. Forbes

“You have to keep breathing because tomorrow, the sun will rise, and you never know what the tide will bring.” –Castaway

The human capacity for burden is like bamboo-far more flexible than you’d ever believe at first glance.” – Jodi Picoult My Sister’s Keeper

“Maybe who we are isn't so much about what we do, but rather what we're capable of when we least expect it.” –Jodi Picoult My Sister’s Keeper

“No matter how bad things are at any one moment, no moment lasts. Good or bad, time moves on because it has to. And so do you.”-unknown

“Well it's very simple...do whatever it takes. You can't fail if you don't give up.” -The Last Kiss

“He gets down to the end of his life, and he looks back and decides that all those years he suffered, Those were the best years of his life, 'cause they made him who he was. All those years he was happy? You know, total waste. Didn't learn a thing.” -Little Miss Sunshine

“Tragedies happen. What are you gonna do, give up? Quit? No. I realize now that when your heart breaks, you got to fight like hell to make sure you're still alive. Because you are. And that pain you feel? That's life. The confusion and fear? That's there to remind you that somewhere out there is something better, and that something is worth fighting for.” –One Tree Hill

“And it's hard. It's much harder than I thought it would be, but there's more good than bad. And you don't just give up.” –The Story of Us

“It is peculiar nature of the world to go on spinning no matter what sort of heartbreak is happening.” –Sue Monk Kidd, The Secret Life of Bees

"Just because the road ahead is long, is no reason to slow down. Just because there is much work to be done, is no reason to get discouraged. It is a reason to get started, to grow, to find new ways, to reach within yourself and discover strength, commitment, determination, discipline. The road ahead is long, and difficult, and filled with opportunity at every turn. Start what needs starting. Finish what needs finishing. Get on the road. Stay on the road. Get on with the work. Right now you're at the beginning of the journey. What a great place to be! Just imagine all the things you'll learn, all the people you'll meet, all the experiences you'll have. Be thankful that the road is long and challenging, because that is where you'll find the best that life has to offer." -unknown

"Remember, you are braver than you believe, you are stronger than you seem, and you are smarter than you think." - A.A. Milne

"No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its course." - Ital Borland

Don't worry about leukemia but trust in Jesus!
for Exodus 23:25 says
"So you shall serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you."

And Also Jeremiah 30:17 says
"But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds," declares the LORD.

Ask Jesus, the Savior of all nation, to heal you disease.

He will listen your pray!

May God heal you and restore your health as he said "I will restore you to health and heal your wounds"!
