We Love You, Baby Hope

     I am very, very sorry to share that little Baby Hope passed away in December.

     She was the most inspiring, playful, resilient and happy handicapped kitten I've ever met.  She lived with so much love and hopefulness for a long and healthy life.  No one could ever forget her, because Baby Hope touched all our hearts.  

     We love you and will miss you, Baby Hope.

The Most Beautiful People

     "The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.  These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern.  Beautiful people do not just happen."

-Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

To all who live with rheumatoid arthritis: We are beautiful

Help Save Hope!

     This post is in honor of my friend and her husband, who love animals so much they created their own non-profit organization to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome neglected animals in Hawaii and California.

     808 Animal Rescue facebook page and instagram page

     Hope is a rescue kitten.  She was found dragging herself on the ground in a neighbor's yard.  Although she was not in good shape, she was happy to see kind people and eager to accept food and water.  My friends took her to the emergency vet center and learned Hope has a contorted spine, which prevents her lower half from functioning properly.  She requires a lot of medical care and my friends are asking for your help to rehabilitate and eventually find a loving forever home for this beautiful kitten.

     Please visit Hope's fundraising page.  If you are able to help, please know that you are giving an adorable, loving kitten a chance at a full and wonderful life.  If you cannot donate at this time, your loving thoughts and prayers help just as much as money or supplies.  Please keep Hope in mind as she heals!  Thank you so much for loving and helping animals like Hope!

Welcome!

     Welcome to my blog!  I've decided to share my experience with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) with the hope that my writing may comfort and inspire others living with the same illness.  This was not an easy decision; I am a very private person who prefers to live quietly.  Thus the name of this blog - Quiet Resilience to me means striving toward the ability to overcome constant adversity through quiet inner strength.

     Your respectful comments are welcome, as are any stories you may want to share with me or other readers of this blog.  I hope you will enjoy and find meaningful connection to my writing.  Thank you for reading!
