SNOW SNOW SNOW BY DANIELA JOEL
Soft cold layers.
Sparkling white grass.
White drops of crystal
Dripping from the sky.
Comforting cool weather.
Relaxing white flakes
With wonderful designs.
Funny interesting kids playing.
The mellow crackle of the fire.
I hear the pots steaming and someone
Is pouring hot chocolate.
The wind is whistling loudly.
Why does it melt so fast?
What am I going to do?
Play, play, play?
I have wondrous thoughts.
Warm hearted feelings.
Snow, snow, snow.
I wrote this 6 room poem originally for school but I really like it and thought you would too.

=)!
Sometimes people might see me and think "Okay this girl cant walk, talk, or eat. Why in the world is she so happy?" Well my answer is what good does being sad or mad do?Sure, I wish I was having a different life, but I am accepting what has happened to me and I've accepted the fact that I'm in for a lot of work. You can wish all you want, but you have to come to a point and realize that OK I'm in this position. No wishing my way out of it. What can I do to fix it? Then you just really have to believe you can do it! I've heard this quote before but I'm not sure who its by, "In able to succeed, you must first believe that you can." I don't know about you but I believe I can and will.

Wow
Today I realized that me and my mom are a team. Sure I have a strong mind and will, but I could never of come as far as I have with out my mom's love and support. We keep each other together! "We don't accomplish anything in this world alone." -Unknown
Today I found an entry on my computer diary from the day before school started, last year. What caught my eye in it was the fact that I said that my head hurts really bad and I don't know why. I thought wow. It's really weird when you look back on a diary. And it was weird thinking that I had a tumor growing on my brain every day, and I didn't know.
Today our dear friends, Ms. Joyce and Mr Isaac, are moving. We're definitely going to miss them! They have been amazing!
School started for me this week and I'm so happy to be busy again! I love having things to do and getting them done. It makes me feel good! I like keeping busy.

Miracle!
Today, I took my first step! It was so amazing, though after a while my knees really hurt because I'm not really used to the motion. Oh it made my day!! I was so excited! I always, always have dreams about me walking and playing with my friends, shopping at the mall, ...etc. You know I've heard this a few times, "Nothing happen unless first we dream.". Wow, so true. Because a lot of things that have happened to me, I have first dreamed them. I'm not psychic, I promise. It's called "Power of the Mind". I really believe the mind is stronger than most anything. I found this really great quote.
" To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but believe."-Anatole France
Or as my teacher had a poster in her class that I loved. "Shoot for the moon! Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.". Always have big goals! You can atleast accomplish most of it if not all.

Sigh of Relief
I started to write last night, but I found my self falling asleep. I was basically going to mention that yesterday was my fathers' birthday, and every year on his birthday there is a meteor shower. I guess his birthday coincides with something that has to do with meteor showers. I'm sorry, I don't know the technical term.
I had a very hard morning today. It truly was awful. First, I woke up feeling fine then out of no where I threw up. I was soaked. As if that wasn't bad enough, we realized I spit my tube up - all the way from my stomach. It was ridiculous. Then I was still very sick and we had to go to the hospital. After my last experience with getting my tube changed, I won't let anybody change it except the radiologists, because they have the camera to see where they are going. But because I was still very sick, my mom couldn't drive, she had to stay with me. Thank God we have our dear friend, Ms.Joyce. Her and her husband, Mr.Isaac, are more like grandparents to me. They would drop anything and everything for me and I love them dearly. Anyways we arrived at the hospital and we had to call our nurse Maggie to schedule the appointment. But most appointments are scheduled months before the actual date. So of course, there was some problems with me not having an appointment. But as most of you know my mom, when it comes to her kids, no one says no to her or stands in her way of what we need. I admire her strength and determination. My mom made sure I was in, in 5-10 minutes, I had not had anything to eat and I was very nausea's with no way of getting medicine to help with it. Getting the tube put in was very uncomfortable but it was over in a few minutes. I'm so thankful for Maggie, my nurse, who did so much to get me in there. The doctor who got my tube in, he's phenomenal. He's very gentle and kind. Again I was blessed with wonderful people.

I'm back!
It's so good to be back! This week was very hard, we worked out a system to keep me from vomiting but the whole week I was totally out of it from all the nausea medicine. I'd rather be drowsy then nausea's.
I have been thinking, do you remember in Hercules, the old ladies would cut the twine when a persons time on earth was up? And how when Hercules went into that pool of souls, risking his life for his one true love, the old ladies tried to cut his twine but it wouldn't cut because he was a God. I'm not sure if I believe in all those Greek Myths but to think someone cutting my string of life and not being able too, it just makes me think. I'm not sure if it makes sense the way I put it but try to understand my crazy mind.=)
I also was browsing around youtube, and found this song that I have always loved but now I really can put meaning to it. I want to dedicate it to my mother.
The lyrics mean a lot to me and I never really had a meaning for this song. I just liked it, but now, today, I listened to this song and almost cried. My mom means the world to me. I love her to death!

Worry
I have to admit, I worry a lot. About everything. I just start thinking and it gets out of hand. Most of my worries, I have absolutely no control over. Which is why I really like this quote.
"There is no use worrying about things over which you have no control, and if you have control, you can do something about them instead of worrying."- Stanley C. Allyn
Your always going to have worries, but your not always going to be in control, therefore whatever happens is obviously meant to happen. Otherwise you yourself could and would of stopped it. I never know why things happen - none of us do. but there's always a reason whether or not you know it or not.
I didn't write this weekend because I was extremely nausea's from my antibiotics. This week, starting tonight, I do oral chemo which I do 5 days out of every month. Its definitely not fun stuff. One of the nausea medications just makes you feel like you have the flu and want to sleep all day. But I'd rather feel that then throwing up. So I guess I have to suck it up for the great or good. Basically I might not write for a couple days, but do check in to see if I did write because other days are different than others.
