Emotions have been mixed lately, but mostly I feel really healthy, really good. I continue to do what feels good to me: working out, acupuncture, head massage, tanning bed, vitamin regimine and now, aloe vera juice. I am not super strick with my diet, but I am as healthy as possible without denying myself any pleasures. My therapist advised me to keep a list of positive things in my life. I remind myself daily, sometimes hourly, of how grateful I am but something prevents me from committing it to paper. I am seriously re-considering the shaved head. The remainder of my hair looks pathetic and I like the idea of concentrating on the growth, rather than the loss. Maybe this weekend...
I also joined a social networking site Alopecia World for those affected by hair loss. It's pretty cool so see so many people in the world going through the same thing. It's nice to know I am not alone out here, but I still straddle the line of complete acceptance. I believe my hair will grow back and I will feel whole again with a brand new perspective on health and happiness. (Can't I have it all?) I am confidant that at least the latter will come true.
I am thankful for so many things: my health, my family, my friends, and my ability to take really good care of myself. (baby steps)

You continue to amaze me! I love you and think of you and pray for you daily. This is kind of a sick way to get someone to put their mental and physical health first...but I think it is working for you!
You are right. It is sad that it takes something like this to take really good care of ourselves. Better late than never I guess.
Im glad you found AW.
Roger.
