Today's reflection is a guest sharing. A fellow subscriber wrote in response to yesterday's example of what can happen with strong positive thinking. Without any judgment, let's appreciate this opposite example and take it to heart with love, reverence, and wisdom. Thank you, Elaine, for sharing.

With love to all,

"What a wonderful story Charlene!  Thoughts truly are so positive.  My mother had lung and bone cancer.  Under treatment, there was no longer bone cancer and the lung cancer tumor had shrunk a bit.  Two years into treatment she fell.  After falling she believed that every bone in her body had cancer.  The doctor told her, "No, they did not." Nevertheless, her belief that all her bones were cancerous, plus believing she was going to die, left her, and us, with just ten more days of her life here on earth.  She gave up. That was so evident every day as my father and I watched her rapidly begin to die.  Her thoughts brought about her death far sooner than had she stayed positive. This I truly believe."
