PinkGirl, this is also very much a learning process for me.

Andi, I am somewhat familiar with psychoneuroimmunology. It is a real interesting area of study since it involves how the power of the mind can effect one's immune system in a physiolological way. I believe there is a lot of truth in it.

I was thinking of Andi's thread today. The way I look at diffiicult/challenging situations that come my way is that there are choices. I can do all I can to avoid it, I can find the easiest way to deal with it, or I can accept it and work with it. I can allow that situation to dominate my emotions and thoughts, or I can work to control, grow, and learn from the experience.

I know this sounds easier said then done, but I think one of the keys is awareness....being aware of what the situation is doing on an emotional as well as physical level.
