Body: 

Today has been a great sunny day here in the UK (Makes a change)

Myself and my POP went out and about for the majority of the day (No complaints about the POP, I am living with it and it is living with me - lol - So to speak...

I really do wonder sometimes though (Its a good wonder)

Is the reason I have no pain and no problems other than the peeking the fact that I have been in posture for like three or more years? Hmmmm - Makes me wonder :-) But I tell myself on the odd bad day - I have NO pain - This is NOT life threatening - I WILL be OK and - I AM Whole :-)

It always gives me a lift.

I think - Especially in a year where I have faced many hurdles of POP, then CIN3 and then this Breast Lump and Biopsy (Results n 11th July) That I have (amazingly) Come through it relatively well (I say relatively as when the POP first reared its head a few months were rocky, and stuff, but after that things have got better and better bosth emotionally and physically...

So - I will say again (For myself if nobody else lol)

You CAN live WELL with a Grade 3 POP - I am... I have a Grade 3 POP - And I am living - WELL...

I am not giving in to it, and - Amazingly I believe now (After those first few months) That it has made me a stronger woman.

I would say to many many women that If I can get through this - And I am amazed at how 'together' I am now (lolol) Then I believe most other women can also...

OK - I babble again - lol

Hope the sun is shining where you are......

Just returned home from dinner with my dearest H. First real rain we've had in almost a year. Absolutely beautiful and people are dancing in the streets in this most special high desert town. G-d love the earth, G-d love the rain.

We are all getting stronger.

Love forever,

Yup - Today I have not 'heard' hide nor hair (silly saying lol) from my POP...

I have come to the conclusion that as we now reside in the same body we hafta get along - lol

Today I did alot of things (Gardening and removing stuff from kitchen as Mums having new flooring put down) Stuff I haven't done in a long while. Sunday I walked a long long way - Another thing I havent done in ages (My legs ached lol) BUT - No POP complaints...

I think that my lil friend POPpy has also decided that as we are residing together we better get along :-)

Another hot day here in UK also...

I got myself some new trousers (pants) and purposefully got them too big so they sit more on the hips that round the waist - Very comfy tho somewhat large - lol - And no pressure on belly, so POPpy likes it also...

This is such a time that last December time I would have thought would not be - And I am living with my lil friend POPpy and 'she' and I are happy.

Last month my period came and left with no real annoyance for the first time also. (Usually period time is the worst time of the month)

Life is Good! It's my Birthday in a couple of days (Boo - That is cancelled - lolololol) My kids made a beautiful fruit salad today - Yummy...

If I could just freeze this day - I would :-D

Everything happens for a reason... We get through or we cave...

I read the below poem type thingy today - And it is good (Tho written for a man)

Hoping everyone also had a great day :-)

If --- By Rudyard Kipling... 1865 to 1936

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!

Sometimes you are holding someone else's heart whithin your hands. You can drop that heart & bruise it. You can squash that heart & hurt it. Or you can stomp on it & totally annihalate it. You stomp on that heart or bruise it. It can forever be changed.

Ahhhh Kipling...

Love that poem. I have a copy in my kitchen at work. It's the poem I trained my children with. Except I'd change the last line to say you'll be whole person because I think women more readily accept this poem than men.

My favorite line is "stoop to build them up with worn out tools." I guess I think of menopause on that line.

Thanks for posting it.
