Bernie Siegel is an MD (surgeon) who has become a famous speaker .... He speaks about cancer patients .

He has a newsletter "ECaP" .... exceptional cancer patients.

Here's a little something from the most recent newsletter:

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

1. Thou shall not worry, for worry is the most unproductive of all human activities.

2. Thou shall not be fearful, for most of the things we fear never come to pass.

3. Thou shall not cross bridges before you come to them, no one yet has succeded in accomplishing this.

4. Thou shall face each problem as it comes. You can only handle one at a time anyway.

5. Thou shall not take problems to bed with you, for they make very poor bedfellows.

6. Thou shall not borrow other people's problems. They can better care for them than you can.

7. Thou shall not try to relive yesterday for good or ill, it is forever gone. Concentrate on what is happening in your life and be happy now!

8. Thou shall be a good listener, for only when you listen do you hear ideas different from your own. It is hard to learn something new when you are talking, and some people do know more than you do.

9. Thou shall not become 'bogged down' by frustration, for 90% of it is rooted in self-pity and will only interfere with positive action.

10.. Thou shall count thy blessings, never overlooking the small ones, for a lot of small blessings add up to big ones.

Thanks for posting that Pepper, it's all very good "food for thought." I just emailed it out to my email pals.

Thanks for posting this Pepper! This must have been for me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

I needed numbers 6 & 8 especially.

...quit trying to take on other people's problems.

As AA says "live and let live".

...be a better listener.

Susan and Jen .... I love Bernie's messages. He is a wonderful speaker.

If you ever know someone who is facing serious illness .... buy that person Bernie's book ...

"Love, Medicine and Miracles" .... it's also available on audio tape, which is how I "read" it.

It changed my life! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
