Well today hasn’t been such a bad day after all. I’ve managed to resolve all my uncertainties and feel much better about them.

Unfortunately, dealing with any terminal illness brings about lots of uncertainties, so being able to resolve those are important. Of course our issues won't always revolve around a terminal illness, but they still need to be resolved.

I wish there were easier ways, but for now all is good, I just hope the next few days go the same way.

  1. So glad your getting the resolve you need. I admire your strength and positivity. You have helped me come through so much and to be able to see you come through what you have gives me hope.

    I hope things just keep looking up for you. XX Lisa

    1. Thanks Lisa. Unfortunately I don't feel the same today. I think yesterday hit hard, it took a lot of effort on my part. It's caught up with me!

      I think any kind of support takes effort on both parts. Thank you for your sweet comments. It's important to have commitment and determination so that we can succeed in our lives with what we deal with and I believe you have both of these.

      I'm so pleased you're doing great. I'm so happy for you.

  2. I think the biggest thing about uncertainties is that we feel like we don't have control at the time that they hit. Sometimes we need to make peace with it and just let it be.
