Neste dia especial...

Acho que por ser dia 25 de Abril, apeteceu-me passar a manhã a ouvir música de intervenção. Acabei por me cruzar com esta versão alternativa de uma música que é, para mim, muito especial.
Aqui fica a versão dos Hyubris da "Canção de Embalar".


Apesar de achar esta versão curiosa, lamento mas continuo a preferir a versão original:


25 de Abril Sempre!

Dorme meu menino a estrela d'alva
Já a procurei e não a vi
Se ela não vier de madrugada
Outra que eu souber será pra ti

ô ô ô ô ô ô ô ô ô ô ô ô (bis)

Outra que eu souber na noite escura
Sobre o teu sorriso de encantar
Ouvirás cantando nas alturas
Trovas e cantigas de embalar

Trovas e cantigas muito belas
Afina a garganta meu cantor
Quando a luz se apaga nas janelas
Perde a estrela d'alva o seu fulgor

Perde a estrela d'alva pequenina
Se outra não vier para a render
Dorme quinda à noite é uma menina
Deixa-a vir também adormecer

Passo a divulgar a informação que recebi hoje:



"Exmo(a). Senhor(a),



A União Humanitária dos Doentes com Cancro presta consultas de clínica geral gratuitas e abertas a toda a população, todas as quartas-feiras.

Conscientes de que o êxito desta valência depende unicamente da sua divulgação, de modo a que todos os doentes tenham conhecimento e assim oportunidade de beneficiar deste apoio, face aos nossos escassos meios (pois todos os apoios que a União presta são inteiramente gratuitos), vimos pelo presente apelar à sua solidariedade e desde já muito agradecer:



· *A divulgação desta notícia por todas as pessoas do seu conhecimento, familiares e amigos.*



· *O reenvio deste e-mail para todos os seus contactos pessoais, com o objectivo de que, mediante uma grande rede de solidariedade na Internet, esta notícia chegue ao conhecimento de toda a população.*



Para um completo conhecimento da União Humanitária dos Doentes com Cancro, muito agradecemos a visita ao nosso site, em http://www.doentescomcancro.org/ , um site completo e interactivo, com toda a informação sobre os apoios gratuitos a doentes com cancro e seus familiares, o cancro, a legislação, o tabagismo e as últimas notícias de âmbito oncológico.


Colabore com a União nesta nobre causa.


O cancro, pela sua dimensão - a segunda causa de morte no nosso país e a primeira no grupo etário entre os 35 e os 64 anos - é uma doença e uma problemática que a todos diz respeito e que só poderá ser vencido com a mobilização de toda a sociedade.


Gratos pela sua solidariedade, subscrevemo-nos com estima e elevada consideração,


Luís Filipe Soares

Top 5 regrets

Mais uma mensagem inspiradora do Dada, que decidi partilhar.

Live with no regrets :)

"A nurse has recorded the most common regrets of the dying, and among the top ones is 'I wish I hadn't worked so hard'. What would your biggest regret be if this was your last day of life?



There was no mention of more sex or bungee jumps. A palliative nurse who has counselled the dying in their last days has revealed the most common regrets we have at the end of our lives. And among the top, from men in particular, is 'I wish I hadn't worked so hard'.


Bronnie Ware is an Australian nurse who spent several years working in palliative care, caring for patients in the last 12 weeks of their lives. She recorded their dying epiphanies in a blog called Inspiration and Chai, which gathered so much attention that she put her observations into a book called The Top Five Regrets of the Dying.

Ware writes of the phenomenal clarity of vision that people gain at the end of their lives, and how we might learn from their wisdom. "When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently," she says, "common themes surfaced again and again."



Here are the top five regrets of the dying, as witnessed by Ware:



1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

"This was the most common regret of all. When people realise that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made. Health brings a freedom very few realise, until they no longer have it."



2. I wish I hadn't worked so hard.

"This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children's youth and their partner's companionship. Women also spoke of this regret, but as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence."



3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.

"Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a result."



4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.

"Often they would not truly realise the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying."



5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

"This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realise until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called 'comfort' of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content, when deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again."




What's your greatest regret so far, and what will you set out to achieve or change before you die?



Have a Great Day and a Great Life! :-)
Dada"
