Thank you for your wise advice, Claire. I am grateful that I am nearly finished with my treatments. I can empathize with you on days that “today is the day I have”. Your words always inspire me.

I love 'Because today is the day I have'! With either inflection. Great advice. And I'm glad you have Dr. Claire Crooks 'in your corner' (or your noggin') depending on the day. xoxoxo

Thank you for sharing your strategies! I have my own play lists that I use similarly for cheering myself or reflecting. I liked both your songs and was not familiar with either. I will be adding them to my list. Sending you love!

So many beautiful things in this post. I received a gratitude journal from my daughter for Christmas. You have reminded me that it is sitting on a shelf, doing me no good. I am starting today. 🙏🏼

There is nothing quite as pleasing as a fresh journal - happy to remind you to get at it!
