Zen Pencils by Gavin Aung Than for June 24, 2024

“Solitude is not the same as loneliness. Solitude is a solitary boat floating in a sea of possible companions.”

“And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out into the world it is best to hold hands and stick together.”

“You are free to give life meaning, whatever meaning you want to give it.”

“Any fool can make enough money to survive. It’s another thing to keep yourself consistently entertained. It’s a lot of work, and a lot of fun, to make a life.”

“Sticks and stones will break our bones, but words will break our hearts.” Robert Fulghum

(This is the way I felt after learning my Wife’s kidneys were failing.)

It’s another attack by the onion ninjas. My matron of honor is fighting breast cancer alone, because her husband died recently of COVID-19 complications. Another friend just found out she has terminal cancer.

Fsck cancer.

Ouch. This one hits hard.

Robert Fulghum. HIs books are well worth reading and heeding.

Yes, that one hit home. Just finished radiation treatments. Hopefully all will be well for me — it was caught very early. It’s a wakeup call, nonetheless.

I know, right?!….

My best friend died this winter, they did not catch the cancer in time. I miss her like crazy. Fvk cancer.

I wish you all the luck and love in the world for a speedy recovery. God bless and take care. ☺♥
