Pleasefreeme,
Thank you for your thoughtful post that is very kind. The idea of imagining myself coping and even thriving in my day to day life (at work for example) is wonderful! I'm going to try it. I will also look into 'The Secret'. You are also very right about projecting into the future. I am always thinking about "what if" events in the future. I'm just starting to get into Mindfulness and hopefully will learn to live more in the moment.
Thanks again and hope you are doing well.
