I was so overwhelmed in a good way by the outpouring of compassion from yesterday’s post, that this poem came to mind. But be aware, I wrote it on the fly. ๐ It may not be the best, but I hope the message comes through loud and clear. I also learned that pink is the color for gratitude, so my rose is shared once again.

Hesitation can be a crucial sign
Listen to our intuition
But it may just be fear in disguise
Holding us back from consolation.
Kindness pours in from around the world
Taking time to listen with a big heart
Lending a hand through encouraging words
Sending virtual hugs to erase the hurt.
I am humbled by the compassion
I am grateful for the suggestions
I ache for the pain you feel, too
But moving through is the best we can do.
I will catch up on reading blogs later today. Thanks again for all the wonderful suggestions that I will look into. Like I mentioned yesterday, one day at a time.
Hugs, Lauren ๐ฉท๐๐ป

Youโre welcome
Iโve learned a new thingโ the colour for gratitude, thankyou! ๐ and such a beautiful, heartfelt poemโจ Well wishes๐

This color is good to know, I think, Hannah. ๐ Thank you for your kind words about my poem and for your well wishes. ๐๐๐ป
Beautiful and life-affirming sentiments, Lauren. Hope you’re feeling better. ๐
Thanks so much, Mike. Yesterday was good, probably from all the positive energy I received. This morning I had one jolt, but mild, and hope itโs the last. Every good minute, hour, and day is cherished. ๐ I hope your day is good too. โค๏ธ
Good morning. Is all well? xoxo

Nicely done.
Thanks, Anneli! ๐๐
Grateful, humbled, kindness and compassion. These are my favorite words from the post!
Those are great words, Kavi. Thank you for commenting, and I’m glad you liked the post!
Beautiful rose and poetry! ๐น๐๐
Thank you very much! ๐ฉท๐ท๐น
I love the rose. Yes. One day at a time is the key
Thanks, John. On a lighter note, tomorrow is Friday. ๐ Have a great weekend ahead. I’m sure every day feels like the weekend though, and I can’t wait until we’re there, too. Another year or two. ๐
It is true about every day being the weekend. It is great.
I’m jealous but happy for you. ๐๐
Think of how good it is to see Friday night arrive. I don’t have that feeling anymore. ๐
๐๐๐ค

Hey, John, random WP question, are you having issues with names of commenters not showing up on your posts? There is a ‘1’ beside everyone who has commented, even where my name should be at the top of the post. I’ve never seen this, so I thought I’d ask. ๐
I have not had that happen. It is usually a browser issue. Log off and then come back. If it is still there try logging on with a different browser.If you are using Google Chrome try Firefox or Safari. Obviously if you are using Safari try another. If another browser works then you probably need to clear the cache of your favorite one. Google how to clear cache for your browser. Let me now if any of this helps.
I tried logging out and it’s the same. So I’ll try clearing cache. Thanks, John! ๐
Hold on. I now see it on other’s blogs. Might be a WP problem after all. I would wait
Interesting, okay, thanks!
Funny non-WP blogs don’t have the problem.
Well, that’s telling, isn’t it? ๐
Yes.
Beautiful โค๏ธ
Thank you! ๐
Lauren, it is wonderful to see how you took a risk and were rewarded with much caring and compassion. A good bit of instinct at work, I’d say! Hopefully it has some positive impact on how you are feeling. I enjoyed reading your heartfelt words.
Thanks, Steve, and I agree with you about the instinct. I’m actually getting a second opinion next week, but over the weekend, I’m going to do more research regarding the suggestions I’ve received. The response has been surprising and truly moving. Thank you again, and I’m glad you enjoyed this last minute poem. ๐ ๐๐ป
Good luck to you with the research and second opinion, Lauren. ๐ค๐ผ๐ค๐ผ๐ค๐ผ
Thanks, Steve. It’ll be interesting, to say the least. ๐๐๐ป
That is so lovely, Lauren! And I love that pink is the color of gratitude – such a beautiful rose. โค
Thanks so much, Carol. I had to express my gratitude, and I just found out about the color, too. Have a good weekend, and thanks again for your support and well wishes. ๐ฉท๐ท

Hopefully you’ll be able to get a definitive diagnosis and treatment soon.
Thanks, Binky. I have many options to look into, but in the meantime, I’m getting a second opinion next week. So that will be interesting. ๐ Thanks for your support, and have a good weekend.
This is so heartfelt and beautiful dear Laurenโฃ๏ธ. Your outpouring of friends and support just shows what an amazing human you are. Sending healing vibes and love this weekendingโฃ๏ธ
Thanks, dear Cindy! Your words warm my heart, too. I appreciate your healing vibes and love, and send hugs and love to you! Each day is different, but the last two have been peaceful.
