Hi jp,

I appreciate your thoughts, prayers and best wishes...

But jp, I must protest...

I do have a STRANGER WITHIN
who attempts to destroy my life,
who attempts to take away my dignity
and my self esteem.

I do have a tumour in my lung...

oh, i'm taking the prescribed chemo...

But i'm going to need that little bit more...

i'm going to need all the prayers and bears,
all the thoughts and resolve...

did you like the poem?

the bears, Brenda and I discovered a new bird
taking up residence in the nearby marina...

a belted kingfisher!

ya hadda be there!

cheers .... murray

hi all

the hit and run gang of teddy bears has struck once more
murray is the latest victim of their surprise attack
and the inherently unrelenting assault
comprising caring messages
in a furry form

which is all quite wonderful and generous

i wonder about the emotion behind
the message included with tthe orsus -

all of us have been hit with the
STRANGER WITHIN who attempts to
destroy our lives, who attempts
to take away our dignity and our
self esteem. The TEDDY BEAR GANG
fights this STRANGER WITHIN with
laughter, smiles, and with love ...

do i think this way
no
theree is no stranger in me
i have not been hit
my life is not being desteroyed
my dignity has not been lost
my self-esteem has not been damaged
i do not fight anyone or anything
hhow can this be
i may be off and full of typos now
but i am also full of love
no matter what

i am held in gods hands
always

everything that happens to me
happens for a reason
to challenge me
to teach me what i need to learn

and this same concept applies to everyone of us
if we can just open up a little to the possiblity
howwever impropable it may seem

no-one is a stranger
the strsngeness is an illusion
built on fear and doubt

which dont' exist

there is nothing
but love

which teddy bears express oh so well
