@jenniferhunter This is a beautiful post Jennifer, and allows us to peek into how you tick! A long time ago, an Elder would tell me "it's all in your head". As I have come to realize, so much of my problems that I have physically can be exacerbated by my mental health. Being able to express yourself in whatever form is comfortable for you can be positive and healing. We cannot limit ourselves to what Society deems is positive. For some of us just getting up in the morning is the big positive for the day, and that's alright. Let's celebrate all the different ways that we can express ourselves be it in action or arts or just being! We are all we can be at this moment, and strive to be better when that's possible.

Well said, Ginger! It's being present in the moment when we chose to be mindful of all the goodness we have in our lives. Just stop and feel it... It is true that we can destroy our health with worry and stress. We can also celebrate our lives and be grateful. It's a choice we make for ourselves. I believe that as patients, we really do have some power over our healing and recovery if we believe in the possibility.
