Great blog to start Mich! I love everyone's ideas and what struck me was we are all finding pleasure in the simple things in life.After all the awful cancer treatments we go through,we are so grateful to be alive,feel somewhat normal and enjoy food again.It is so important to destress your life after cancer,along with having a healthy lifestyle.I only allow myself to be upset for 24hrs and then I mentally shelve that problem because most of the time that problem sorts itself out. I have a special book that I write down inspirational quotes in-kinda like Mich's visualization board(which I think I'll start one). I go to art therapy each week which I love. And I relax and meditate in my outdoor spa a few times a week.As a wife,mother,worker,I don't think I made enough time for myself in the past but I am now. I also love being connected with the amazing women on this network.You have all blogged such great,yet simple,ideas to nurture ourselves.So thank you and I'll take onboard those positive ideas -oh except the one where you get up really early in the morning!! Love you girls!!!! Tonya xx
