Thanks, Walt! You make me laugh, which we both know, is wonderful medicine!!!:joyful:

Jan, Thank you so much for your thoughtful response. I looked at your success story, and really liked your "Knowledge, Belief & Faith" statements. I appreciate your sharing information and encouragement! I actually first read your post late Friday evening, and have had a really good weekend -...

Jan, Once you discovered the realization - rage at aging & death - was that enough? Did it stop your pain? Or did you have to go deeper yet and resolve those feelings? My pain started after a stressful time of life - my two daughters got married a month apart - right after the weddings, I...

\\ I just did the day 15 journaling, which was the first time I've ever seen the dialogue journaling technique. I couldn't think of a current person/situation that would fit this so almost skipped it. Then, I decided to write to my back, leg & foot that have caused me so much pain/grief in...

Walt, Thanks for once again sharing your wisdom with me! Since reading this, I have quit thinking/obsessing that I "have to find the key!". I am staying the course! As a dog lover, I have to share this story. Yesterday, my daughter and I were walking my 2 dogs. A neighbor, who I've never...

Sunny, Thank you so much for your reply and insight! I read it when you first posted it and again today - I never thought of myself as a perfectionist...but the more I do this program and think through so much, I definitely see those tendencies. I'm going to quite obsessing about "the key"...

I'm not doing the program daily, because sometimes it feels like too much. Or, I'm having a low or even non-pain day, and I don't want to do anything to dredge it up! And, honestly, I just feel so confused. I'm 54 years old, so there's lots of stuff, past, present, future - what can it be...

Thank you Walt, for both of your responses to me yesterday. Your insight is always very calming to me. From your picture, it appears darling is a black lab! I have a sweet, sweet, black lab, too. Today, when I journaled on past experiences, I journaled on having our chocolate lab put to...

That's a mixed bag for me. On the positive side, I do know the minute I feel a twinge of pain, my fear starts, and if I keep thinking about it, it can accelerate very quickly. The last two days, I've tried hard to think about Walt's advice that he seems to share often - breathe deeply, think...

I just finished my Unsent Letter journaling in Day 8 - I wrote it to myself about that very subject, how vicious, down right mean I am to myself in my internal dialogue. I would never treat another person the way I treat myself! The result is a vicious cycle of being ineffective, unsure, plain...

Stef - I love the fist pump and the positivity behind it!! Great point - pain - yes, but HOPE, too! No more despair. We will keep the faith! Thank you!!!

I have been having random pains pop up here and there - headaches too, which are unusual for me. I've been saying to myself "I know what you're up to, and NO, we're not going there" and refuse to think about it any further. And, they disappear. If only it were that easy on my back/sciatic...

I'm back from a 6 day trip to a family reunion. It involved 8 hours in the car, both there and back. And, I did have pain here and there - but I DID IT. I made it through the car ride - a few months ago, I didn't think there was any possibility I could make this trip, because of my bad back...
