    I approached today as if it were any other day...it's hard not to when you've been dealing with sick kids for 2 weeks, being run down yourself from the viruses and multiple wakings at night.  I started thinking about this year...this milestone that I have reached.  1 year cancer free!
    Huge when you look at cancer statistics...most recurrence happens in the first year.  Every...

    Ok, I meant to write this sooner, but I just got around to it. My procrastination sucks sometimes. Anyhow, last Sunday my daughter got invited to my friends daughter's birthday party. It was at an ice rink and they did bumper cars on ice. It was so neat. I have never seen anything like that before.  Needless to say the kids had a blast, and even some of the adults. Hee hee. Yes, I t...

  • The Death Of My Mom

    Monday, May 12, 2008

    Monday Morning; "The Start of a New Life"
    Well......all is done. Mom's funeral, burial, her bills are paid, furniture moved out, etc. Now begins my new life. I'll never forget mom, or my dad (he died in 1982), but mom's death made a change in me. I'm going to treat myself, Margaret and others better. (Not that I've ever been hurtful to anyone) I joined a gym...

    This is the last in the series of 'Refrigerator Rights Relationships.'  This has been the theme for our Church Services.
    It's about those relationships that are close to us, to where our friends/family feel comfy helping themselves to food/pop inside our fridge. But, what if something stinky is in there? What if you forgot about something in there that is growing some moldy scienc...

    Saturday, May 9, 2009

    I just want to let you all know that I have been on DS for almost two years now.  When I first joined, I had recently been discharged from a two week stay at Two Rivers Psychiatric Hospital.  I have come a long way and thanks to Daily Strength, I was able to grow, learn, and share.  Knowing my triggers and Using Affirmations and Cognitive Therapy has been a big help in my recovery....

    I know that I understand, how little they really know.
    And that look of pity on their face, will always show.
    They can't look past and get to know, the person deep inside.
    They never see the real me, the part this chair can't hide.
    I want them to know I have a mind, I am capable of love.
    I have lots of hopes and desires, and things I dream of.
