Dearest Helen,

I love you, you sweet and wonderfully compassionate friend. I am sorry to hear of your grief.

Please, please, please look into getting the book, Full Catastrophe Living. There are so many valuable lessons, and it teaches us that we are not our pain(physical or emotional), and how to separate ourselves from it to a certain degree.

The book is written for people in chronic pain and is based on Eastern philosophies.

Wish we could all have a huge hugfest too.

My breakup with Joel was the most treacherous experience ever...I nevr knew he would be so cruel at hateful towards me. I am sad, but have my dignity and self-respect back now that I've moved out(Sunday night). I will no longer have to endure his hurtful words and behavior, and I know that my tummy depends on me to take care of these things so that it doesn't have piles of other stuff ontop of what it's already daling with...ouch, my heart is sore though.

Lots of love and hugs,

Janet
