I'd like to start a thread of inspiring and uplifting quotes, poems, etc. that people have found helpful. Here's one of my all-time favorites:
From Ulysses, by Alfred, Lord Tennyson: "Though much is taken, much abides; and though We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are-- One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." Please share some of your favorite inspiring words. Pete

"The way in which a man accepts his fate and all the suffering it entails, the way in which he takes up his cross, gives him ample opportunity--even under the most difficult circumstances--to add a deeper meaning to his life. It may remain brave, dignified, and unselfish."
--Viktor Frankl (concentration camp survivor), from Man's Search for Meaning

Thanks, Eowyn. I take it that the administrators decide which posts to turn into stickies, right?
We should also include song lyrics and/or youtube links to music that you find inspiring and helpful. In an effort to help get the ball rolling here, I'll post some more stuff. Hopefully we can get a variety of stuff on here, to help cover people's varying tastes in music, poetry, philosophy, etc. Hope of Deliverance (by Paul McCartney) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck-h0oG2msA I will always be hoping, hoping. You will always be holding, holding My heart in your hand. I will understand. I will understand someday, one day. You will understand always, Always from now until then. When it will be right, I don't know. What it will be like, I don't know. We live in hope of deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us. Hope of deliverance, hope of deliverance. Hope of deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us. And I wouldn't mind knowing, knowing That you wouldn't mind going, going along with my plan. When it will be right, I don't know. What it will be like, I don't know. We live in hope of deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us. Hope of deliverance, hope of deliverance. Hope of deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us. Hope of deliverance, hope of deliverance. Hope of deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us. Hope of deliverance, hope of deliverance. Hope of deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us. Hope of deliverance, hope of deliverance. Hope of deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us.

Suffered a TBI with PCS on April 25th 2011 from multiple blows to the head from falling, unconscious for 12 hours with no memory of event. Hit the back of my head, and above right eye. MRI and CT negative. Symptoms included constant headaches (migraine, pressure, tension, icepicks), dizziness, tinnitus, visual changes, photophobia, fatigue, "spacing out", word finding difficulties, depression, and emotional lability. Began Healing in November 2011 after starting acupuncture and Healing Touch (a nurturing energy therapy that promotes relaxation and pain relief). I went back to work in February 2012. Ive been symptom free since July 2012. Very happy, positive, energetic and working out every day, doing yoga, and living a normal life again! I also began taking Healing Touch classes in November 2011 and completed 5 Levels of Healing Touch Certificate Program that included a 1 year mentorship to become a Healing Touch International Practitioner in June 2013. I am so pleased to offer this wonderful healing therapy to my patients, friends, and clients. |

"[Y]ou even now possess blessings which no one can doubt are more precious than life itself. So dry your tears. Fortune has not yet turned her hatred against all your blessings. The storm has not yet broken upon you with too much violence. Your anchors are holding firm and they permit you both comfort in the present, and hope in the future."
--Boethius
