Sometimes I might need a touch of reality and actually remember that I may not be able to do all the things that I would like to do.

I know it doesn't relate to cancer and is quit trival in comparison but I have been fearing a lot of outcomes in my head because of this and still just haven't gotten one. green_eyed_elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15883755985547011430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3969377097750640088.post-66564197375508164512013-11-10T18:38:13.904-08:002013-11-10T18:38:13.904-08:00Awfulising....what a great term for me to remember...Awfulising....what a great term for me to remember. If you go read my most recent blog, you will laugh. It was a bout of awfulizing at magnificent proportions. I wonder if we go to the worst case scenario because then we feel like we are heading off the trauma. It won't sneak up on us....because we have already looked head on at the worst thing that could happen. At least that is how I have always felt. I am much better than I used to be believe it or not. I love that term...thanks for sharing that. Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18326425173333184401noreply@blogger.com
