    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...

  • An inspiring picture

    Friday, March 7, 2008 | An Inspiring story

    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...

    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...

  • 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...

  • FOREST WALK

    Friday, June 6, 2008 | An Inspiring story

     
    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...

  • Update - About me

    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....

    Wednesday, September 16, 2009 | An Inspiring story

    Im in tears right now, I have to share this and you all are the only ones who will understand how powerful this is. I finally got some strength to start cleaning out my closet where so many of Shannon's things are. My clothes also are just stacked so high because I always gave her so many of my things. I found a place to donate my things that go right to the people who need them. I have been ...
