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...

I had two doctors’ appointments this week (Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th).
My doctor’s appointment on Tuesday was with a gastriologist in Toronto. I wasn't expecting to get too much out of the appointment because I have a fear of needles and she hasn't recommended any test that doesn't involve needles. We had talked about sedatives with her bu...3 Recommendations25 Comments -
I sent this message out to everyone on my list before I began my weekend.
Smell a beautiful flower, smile at a stranger, lift your face to the sun, blow a kiss to the moon...
and I added this to my journal
This weekend I will,
be creative, get things done,
have fun, realise a future, stay happy.
I had forgotten what a powerful thing writing that can be.
So powerful that I am inspired to share wha...5 Recommendations9 Comments -
This forest is awesome. It is cool and a little dark where we walk - the sun filters through above - it is magical.
The trees wrapping around one another as they grow. I would like to live in this forest. I could use SOMETHING wrapping around me:)
It's a little like a wonderland - I expect pixies to leap out at any point - Heinze loves it too. I wish the deer...2 Recommendations10 Comments -
Well let me first start to give you a little bit of background to the story. When I was younger I had always felt that somehow I was 'less' than a man. That my value was somehow intrisincally based that on that fact that I was supposed to be blindly 'obedient' to my husband or men in general. As I grew up I also had garnered unwanted attention from men which deeply embedded the fe...2 Recommendations10 Comments

'The only time we feel totally free, is when we stop looking for "reasons" for their behavior, admit to ourselves that we aren't going to improve them, or get them to see what they are doing to cause this misery, and we focus on ourselves, our children, and the life we can build for ourselves2 Recommendations13 Comments

Strength
We don't always have to be strong to be strong. Sometimes, our strength is expressed in being vulnerable. Sometimes, we need to fall apart to regroup and stay on track.
We all have days when we cannot push any harder, cannot hold back self doubt, cannot stop focusing on fear, cannot be strong.
There are days when we cannot focus on being responsible. Occasionally we don't want to ge...4 Recommendations11 Comments -
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....6 Recommendations27 Comments

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.
I know my legs may be useless, I may travel b...4 Recommendations11 Comments -
Hey J. It's been a while since I have written. I have been a busy beaver and just not had my mind on journaling much. Glad to see you are still here waiting for me. An important thing happened last night. I placed my trust back in God. I had turned my back and walked away for a good while. I got this deluded thought in my sick mind that I would one da...2 Recommendations14 Comments
