yes, I am using a special place to write out my experience overcoming a serious illness. From the start, I began this and it helped me so much to communicate to others (and in doing so, inform myself) what I am thinking and feeling, and I can gauge some progress this way.

I have also received feedback and unbelievable support along this path, and one day, when I'm all clear, I will read it all again, from beginning to end... and see what my journey was, so that I remember all the remarkable aspects ~ where a negative turns positive, and reaching out brought more back ... I'm sure I'll discover lessons and things about myself I don't quite see yet, so I think this journalling has been a definite positive benefit for me... priceless even, I'd venture to say.

Peace,
(and journal as openly as possible)
night
