I dread the arrival of Spring every year. Actually, I dread the change of seasons altogether. Partly because they often mean flareups of my chronic illness symptoms. But mostly I hate seasonal changes because some kind of house or yard work follows.

Thoughts of pain and your own mortality try to ...

It would have saved me a lot of worry, distress, and hopelessness. I've since learned that mindfulness is a set of skills for healing, intuition, insight, calmness, focus, resilience, and hope that you can use to ...View More » ![]() |
