Guest guest Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 I agree, lets all keep busy. Those demon thoughts do happen when we are too focused on our aches and pains. Springtime, fresh air. I am planting flowers... and am doing a garden this year. Yeah, never have done that before. Actually am getting into it. Jay Re: Phil's update Apil 13 Jennie, I know what you mean having projects to keep our minds off the cancer. It does help to stay busy. I try to get into my projects on my off weeks of chemo. I think it also helps build me up again. It does my mind wonders to see the improvements. Just stay busy. It fights all the bad thoughts. Of course then everyone tells me I do too much. But this is a good thing to stay busy. Ingrid- -- In colon_cancer_support , " Jennie " wrote: > > Narice, > I needed that good news, and congratulations.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Hi Jay, Yes and another way to avoid the " future hole " is to get in the habit of saying (like a mantra) Now, and now, and now, and now, and now (and keep doing it until you get in the presentwhich is of course " the now " .
