I live in an area where there is an Al-Anon meeting withing driving distance pretty much every day of the week, but sometimes it's too late in the day and I've missed it, or it's morning and the meeting isnt until 7pm, or . . . So I made up a folder of bookmarks to Al-Anon blogs, that I can use as my own sort of mini-meeting. It has helped me tremendously. I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am to you for sharing your experience through this blog.

Time for yourself alone, asking for help, keeping it simple, how important is it--all of these things I learned in AlAnon and need to practice every day. I'm very grateful for your blog. Having cancer treatment is like having a new job; they keep you very busy, but just as with a job, you need time off. A good mystery novel takes me away for a while, and I'm sure you have an equivalent, and sewing and painting and writing. You have a great attitude--thank you.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3969377097750640088.post-55181536079335278172015-02-18T08:26:59.805-08:002015-02-18T08:26:59.805-08:00So true.

I remember the peaceful calm I felt after the first shocking week or two. I realized there were fewer grays in my life. You have to save your time and energy for the important people, places and things. My endless "To Do" list shrunk quickly and I enjoyed that. I also quit responding to people who began a sentence with "You need to . . . " No I do not need to do something because another thinks so!!! <br /><br /> Over time I have forgotten some of this so your posts are so helpful. Take care.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05887164257467838767noreply@blogger.com
