You totally did 'mislead' me, but I am glad you didn't say so until the end because it really made the whole post more powerful! But I also believe the actual meaning of the whole "you always have a choice" reflects the idea that although you can't choose to make the cancer go away and have it just be gone, you can do as you are doing and choose to take care of yourself. You COULD have chosen to make the diagnosis a death sentence. So the whole "Choice" idea still applies, even if you don't like any of the alternatives, there is always at least one, ya know? I have taken a class called Dialectical Behavorial Therapy once a week for the last coulple years at Laural Hill Center here in Eugene, and it has taught me so much about the whole 'emotional mind vs. wise mind' concept. I didn't even know there was a difference before I started, but now I understand that although I have been diagnosed with a mental illness (ADHD- PTSD) I am NOT stupid or doomed to be crazy like I thought. Quite the contrary! So now I choose to embrace my uniqueness and individuality and have come to actually find true happiness within myself!!! Anyhow, Thanks for you posts and positive attitude. You are a light to us all! HA! You totally did 'mislead' me, but I am glad you didn't say so until the end because it really made the whole post more powerful!
