~WHY?~

Firstly...Thank you again for all of your supportive emails and comments! Again, I would like to share an email I recieved this morning....I commented back, and this is what she said to me! (still emtional)
Thank you so much! I was able to get 3 hours of sleep last night! YAY! :o) I do have a very loving and supporting family. :o) I thought that since I was guest editor this week, I'd do my best to post as much information on the illnesses I have, to educate others...and I've seen that I've done that. :o) That makes me cry knowing that "me" of all people have reached someone. :o) Thank you so much Heather for being there! :o)

I have to laugh, when it could also be something to cry about... you're so excited that you got three hours of sleep. For the average person three hours of sleep would be something to cry about, we take for granted the fact that we can sleep for as long as we want. I enjoy reading your journal for many different reasons, your positive attitude in the face of your debilitating disease is uplifting, and it is also a good reminder to me to not take life for granted (which is your journal name and fits perfectly) and to realize that the things that I may complain about in my day to day life really are nothing compared to what other people out there are facing. It's like a reality check for me every day. So, I have to thank you for sharing so much of your life and your struggles with both diseases with all of us who wouldn't normally have an understanding of what a person with them goes through. I hope you can get some more sleep today!!

xoxo, Heather
My point is simply this; There are sooooo many people that don not have the illnesses as I and others do, yet they still are very honest and open and very sweet! I do realize that you don't have to be. But I've ran into one that still refuses to look deeper, and accept! I feel so badly for another J-Lander friend of mine. :o( She is getting flack for "What?" Again...acceptance of "who" she is! In my opinion. It truly hurts me to see this still go on! Why? Why is it that when you write in your journal what you "feel" and what you go through on a day to day basis, and by doing so...it helps others to not feel so alone in their illnesses....there is always that someone that has to be so nasty? By writing in your journal, it's just like talking to someone. And talking to God in prayer, I chose to do that in my own private time. Why can't they just let us alone? By writing and posting what you have to offer help for others....why is that so wrong? It's always the ones that DO NOT have these illnesses, or are NOT funny when you "demand" them to be! Why? I know I write about my day to day life with what God gave me....is that so wrong? If so...Why? Am I "whinning" about what I have? If you think so, let me know! I chose to live! Just like so many J-Landers have! Is that wrong too? If so, let me know! Do I seem to complain? If so, let me know! And I am very serious! Someone has truly hurt one of my friends, and it is not very nice! It comes down to the choices you make....are you going to be nice or not? Just like acting like little kids in grade school it is! Truly sad! But inturn, you want respect, and to be voted for? Let me think about that one! If you do not like what I write, and if you seem to think that I am complaing about my illnesses...look up to the upper right...there is a red X...click on it! I will nominate who I want to, and I have! :o) Thank you so very much for all your encouraging comments...and God does bless us all! :o)
