For anyone else who's curious about Gilth's poetic inspiration:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_not_go_gentle_into_that_good_night

I like Gilth's version better though.

I have a lot of different ones that I think of at different times. One is "If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.".

Today....."Sometimes you are the peacock and sometimes you are the feather duster." Don't feel like the peacock too often any more. :o)

I agree with "This, too, shall pass.". That is one of my husband's favorite and we say it a lot around here.

I enjoy all of your mantras and get a lot of encouragement.

Have a great weekend.

I ask not for an easy life, but for the strength I need to accept the challenge.

SJLC,
That cracked me up when you posted Jeff's mantra, funny.


Diet change has improved my RA. I feel best eating raw veggies and some fruits and avoiding grains, sugars, nightshades, beans and dairy. Sed rate dropped from 65 to 19, but it took over a year.

excess fat/oils = pain for me
recipes for raw food on Youtube "raw food romance"
and "healing josephine" Josephine is in remission from RA after two years by change diet/exercise

Duty first, self second.


AS symptoms started 1991. Official dx in 2006 with HLA-B27+, fused SIJ, bone spurs in back, extreme rib/hip pain, and other family with SpA. Started Enbrel in 2006 with good results, but stopped in 2010 due to nerve damage (MS) from it. Getting good results with no-starch diet since 2011.

That is also from the Shawshank Redemption, a favorite movie of mine. Love the quote.

These there are the ones i follow


Every Struggle in my life has shaped me into the person i am today. Be thankful for the hardtimes; they can only make you stronger.

You Know my name, not my STORY.
You've Heard What I've done, NOT WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH

Life is full of Challenges
BEING HAPPY should'nt be one of them
