Hi Forest, EVERYONE has rhythm, even if its in their own mind ;) Thanks for all you do. I will call in on TUE whenever I am available. I don't consider my interaction with TMS over by any means. Maybe just getting started.

It took a while, but I completed the program. I did not push myself, but did stick with it. TMS wiki was/is my "safe place" and where I turned to for support and introspection after being a chronic pain sufferer for 5 years. I have my ups/down, but I generally feel amazing and have resumed all...

Well, looking back on the last 6 months, my daughter and then son's graduation day(s) were two of the happiest days of my life. I was pain free and simply elated. I had been working on the TMS program and having counseling since late FEB and it was clear that those steps and my physical self...

I have found exploring our own personality traits very useful. Up until this program, I had never given much thought to this area of myself except for the generalities people tell you.

I am a bit behind on my TMS program, but all for good reason. I have been feeling great and enjoying the burst of life one finds in the summer. I have hiked and biked and am getting stronger every day. I defer to do physical things only b/c they are extreme as others around here love to do. I...

Thanks Walt. My life with friends is rich and she really just wants to be a mom, not a buddy and I can respect that. letting go of wishing it was different has been very helpful.
