I keep a private blog on my thoughts and feelings, although discovered that I don't have many thoughts and feelings of my own.

I have started to do free writing as a way to express my thoughts and feelings. I have found this helpful because I am not longer hiding anything and in some form is it all getting out.

It always helps to get things out!

I journaled how I was feeling. Every get well card sent to me was placed in an album and I would read them. I gave me comfort to know that PEOPLE do care and pray for you and want you to get better.
