I don't know Lin, you had me at funky hair colors!! Hide all you want behind those funky hair colors, but that tells me you do care enough about yourself to present well, even if it's a facade. Now, we just have to match the inside to the hair.

Here's my thought, and this was a huge part of my rehab and I have to keep myself in check daily on it....
eliminate pain behaviors.

Pain behaviors are anything we do, say or think that reminds us or someome of our symptoms. It's called "accessing the network" and it's self sabatoging. Takes alot of practice.

Thanks for the big thankful hugs. I'm sending them right back atcha along with my wish list for you:

Surround yourself with positive people, find humor everyday, spend time with children, animals and in nature, listen to music, keep a gratitude journal (and put me in it for today - haha), focus on the things you can control not what you can't, and let me know the next color choice for your hair. 😊
