Hi Jen,
Isn't it incredible the situation we find ourselves in through no choice of our own due to this dreadful disease. If its not enough that we have to go through such physical trauma the mind games we are left to play are a battleground as well. I personally have chosen to look upon this whole experience as a reminder. I need to focus on the good things in life such as family, friends, my garden and things that I can enjoy. To stop rushing so much and to really set aside time to relax, and appreciate so many things. Possibly take up a new hobby - I have had a beaitiful violin for many years and learning to play has been on the list of things to do - I think its now time to sign up for lessons and plan for my future!! I'm intending on being around for many many years to come and I need to be so I can grow old disgracefully, run amok and blame it all on old age!!! Wishing you all the best for your wonderful future!! Xx Cath
