Being positive makes life better for you and everyone that surrounds you. How much fun can you have, or would you be, if you were always grumpy and negative?? I hope I never get dealt your hand... but if I do, I hope I handle it as well as you are. I may drop by tomorrow... I'll give you a buzz.... cya soon :) Nothing to gain by being negative.

She took issue with people who preached that the power of positive thinking could cure her cancer. She wrote that it made her feel that it was her fault that she was getting sicker because she wasn't positive enough; when it fact the cancer was taking it's natural course and there was truly nothing she could do about it. While I believe that it is better to have positive thoughts than negative, I think it is extremely unfair to put pressure on a person who is ill to be positive and in turn almost blame them for their illness because of their negative thoughts. Just my thoughts - but perhaps they are too negative? I once read a article written by a women with cancer.
