Comment on 2012: a time to accept our mortality by sbrayne

I agree with everything apart from choose happiness. In my own experience, I’m not sure we can choose to be happy as a permanent state of being. I think we can choose to improve our lives, so we can feel more peaceful with who we are, and what we do. That leads to contentment.

By knowing life in the way I do, it seems we are constantly facing a state of emotional and spiritual flux. As Buddha said, no matter how good or bad things may seem, ‘this too will pass.’ I like that. It makes me appreciated the moment for what it is. For me, life is about making peace with myself so, as Bronnie Ware points out, when I am on my deathbed, I can accept my death without regrets.

It’s high time you went boating full-time, Sue!

We’ve just had our boat repainted in Braunston – and spent the Christmas period returning her back to base. It’s the first time we’ve actually been cruising on a Christmas day!

Comment on The appearance of strangers, and the healing power of Handel’s Messiah by Neville Westerman

How very pleasant to receive an E mail from a sensitive mind with the skill to record an anecdote in a manner which reaches across the divides which we construct. This is a real fruit of what the computer was invented for, to teach us more about spiritual values, sympathy for a heartbroken woman and inspiration from Handel

Comment on Stress can bring on early menopause by julie

I absolutely know that at age 42 my early menopause was brought on by stress as I had no ‘perimenopausal’ signs, just WHAM, the menopause all within 6 months and all following a VERY stressful time.

6 months ago I was diagnosed with severe depression & was in a really dark place. Thyroid and blood tests were done to rule out any underlying medical conditions and all came back ‘normal’ other than sever anaemia, probally brought on by my long, heavy but regular periods & being a vegetarian.

My husband, who I have allowed to control me since we met 8 years ago had worn me down and I was now unable to ‘fight back’. I had no confidence, was over eating, lethargic & had zero ‘get up and go’. I battled on, convincing myself that I could cure myself and refusing the medication (antidepressants) offered but the situation with my husband became too much and I found the strength to end it.

I was in the process of viewing new properties to enable me & our son to leave the family home & move into a new house when my husband informed me that he wanted us to try again & would change. I had been an emotional wreck since the split and had covered just about every emotion in the book.I had lost 15 pounds in a month through not eating much & had suffered sever headaches & insomnia so when I missed a period I just figured it was as a result of rapid weight loss and stress.

When the next month I missed another period yet had all the usual signs that my period was due (breast tenderness, cramping, PMT, headache) I went to my doctor who sent me to hospital for investigation. This week, the results are back and I am now coming to terms with the sad news that im going through premature menopause at age 42!!.

There is no family history of early menopause (my mother was 49 when she had her last period & my sister is now 47 and showing no signs). I didnt start my periods at an early age (i was 14) and have looked after myself all my adult life (non smoker/drug user/drinker & a vegetarian since age 21 & never been overweight). The last 6months worth of stress can be the ONLY trigger and as I am seperated from my husband, this ends any chance of me starting a family with a new man I may meet.

Comment on Deathbed visions and the paranormal by Max_bMax_B

I suspect that you and your colleague were probably seeing what somebody else had seen from the past. More correctly, you were seeing what they were seeing right now. You would have to have been in pretty much the same orientation as the broadcaster, which is why you are more likely to experience them in long corridoors where options for different orientation are limited. Naturally they are more likely to occur in older buildings where the original floor plan has not been altered. The area in which you can receive the broadcast reduces, as the distance between you and the broadcaster across time increases. This would be in accordance with Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Same process as telepathy, but instead of the uncertainty being across space, but in the same time, the uncertainty for apparition type experiences is across time, but in the same space.
