LucreziaBorgia Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Welcome! I sometimes feel that way about the cancer. Up until that point, and during the cancer ordeal it felt like my life was spinning into nothing, and everything was going wrong, and I had very little to show for anything I had done. Dead end job, unfinished dead end degree, aborted career path, dumped by my BF, stuck in a cluttered sh*thole of an apartment, etc. After the cancer, my mindset changed and it is like utter destruction followed by renewal: I got my husband back, my job is better, I am going back to school, I have a healthcare plan that is affordable, I redid my apartment and I like it now (particularly since it is rent controlled), I am writing a book, etc. If I hadn't had the cancer, I doubt I would have gotten to the mindset that I am in now, where I can turn things around for myself. It seems that it took a complete loss before I could regain. At the time I was cursing every deity for my misfortune, only to see that it led to a much greater happiness. Was it sign? A message from God, gods or otherwise? Coincidence? It really doesn't matter - things took a turn for the better and for that I am grateful.
2sunny Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 yes! i totally believe in signs... but one must be paying attention enough to acknowledge them as a sign or signal. to be in tune with what you may consider your God is certainly helpful when the guidance is needed/wanted/warranted. it makes it easier to see the "signs" of what direction is being shown.
Author my_lynn Posted June 16, 2008 Author Posted June 16, 2008 wow, LB- thats fantastic. i applaud your bravery and the ability to take that tramatic situation and turn it into a positive. so you think your cancer was your sign to change? & 2sunny.. do you believe they just come to you and you notice when you are just paying attention, or do you think you could ask the question "If this (insert situation) was meant to be, please give me a sign of..." and the rest of you all... how about it?
