My friend, who was part of my support system, has moved away, so while we can be in touch over the phone, it's not the same anymore. I have to consider what I should do at this point. Maybe one of the phone calls...?

Staying in the game helps me stay out of trouble, it seems. Whatever has worked so far for you - think of the best moments and what you were doing then, how you got there...then imitate it rather than slide back into your old training of 20 years....

I had a good day today, and despite a few things that made me feel a bit bad, I was able to keep a good perspective. I need to work on focusing on all the good things in my life, even when some things are rough.
