Tired but still kicking

Feeling kind of tired and a bit weak today. But I’m still able to function. Unfortunately that means I still have to vacuum and do the dishes. Dang.

I just got an email from a real estate client wanting me to do more photography for her. I’m still thinking whether I want to continue the business. Some days it’s hard to get going. That’s mostly in the mornings though, so perhaps I can schedule all my jobs in the afternoon. I’ll have to decide soon.

Leuk can certainly get in the way sometimes, but I am so fortunate that my CLL is developing slowly and letting me live a relatively normal life. I know some of you are struggling with more advanced symptoms and some have much more serious types of leukemia than I do.

All I can say is keep the hope. You can beat this thing. Leuk may slow us down, even put some in the hospital, but he can be beaten. Hope, Faith, and the Love of others are strong adversaries against Leuk.

Keep up the good fight and live your life as fully as your strength allows. Even your weaker days can have meaning if you look for it.

  1. hey jim (love the name!), i wanted to say that i am truly sorry about your illness.

    i am writing you because i am trying to spread the word about a documentary that we are doing.

    we are trying to raise funding to get this thing done, so that it can raise awareness and realistic solutions. if you think it is noteworthy, then i ask that you simply pass it around to others you know, so that it may find its way in the lap of some one who can contribute to the indiegogo campaign. if you decide to blog about it, let me know, and i will be happy to post a link to your site from our site, in the credits, to thank you for spreading the word.

    the site for the documentary is: http://ToxicBiology.com/

    i hope this helps you or some one you know in the future. thanks!

      Thank you for your comment. I’m approving your comment because I’ve watched your videos and feel they may be of interest to my readers. However, I am not ready to endorse your project yet. At this point it’s a ‘watch and wait’ for me. You seem to have a lot of medical knowledge and you may be onto something, although your videos have yet to talk about your actual advise on the regimen you will be recommending. The fact that you are not selling anything and just trying to help people gives you, as I see it, a lot of credibility. But the large number of diseases you claim to be able to cure makes me a little wary. I’m not trying to shoot you down or discourage you. I wish you success in your documentary. As you can understand though, I am very protective of my readers and have to advise them caution at this point.
