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...
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'd like to talk a little bit about how music has affected my life. Music lets me escape my reality and enter a world where I am loved and the world is a beautiful place. I am taken away by my music and feel the love the person singing a love song must have felt while writing the song. I don't just hear music, I feel it, for me it is an emotional experience. Not just with certain songs bu...
Things Got Ya Down? Well Then, Consider These: In a hospital's Intensive Care Unit, patients always died in the same bed, on Sunday morning, at about 11:00 a.m., regardless of their medical condition.

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 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...
This was actually reported by a teacher. After Christmas, a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school. One child wrote the following: we always used to spend the holidays with grandma and grandpa. They used to live in a big brick house but grandpa got retarted and they moved to Florida. Now they live in a tin box and have rocks painted green to look like grass. Th...
So, things are going good.. Like all people in the world, I have good and bad days.. The bad are getting less, and less. I am slowly finding the happiness, that everyone has talked about.. When I say people, I mean, doctors, therapists, nutrionists, counselors, and all the people I have met along the way.. The hardest part of this recovery is not so much the food, but about who I thought I was,&n...
