The bone scan went well; I used the tools in my toolbox and came out fine. Still waiting for the results. I wish you luck getting your bone scan.Beth L.

For me it is encouraging that you have chosen to share, simply because it reminds me that we ARE all human. For those of us endeavouring to write from a more positive perspective it is nice to know we can have a lapse, albeit 'brief' only to pick ourselves up again.<br />I too will be having a bone scan this coming week. I feel sure you will regain your composure and leave any negative thoughts, or fears, at the door.<br />My best wishes for a great outcome with your test results.

You are ...Nancy, thanks for your insightful points. You are so right when you say that the tricky parts is not to allow the fear to overtake you. I work hard on keeping this from happening and it's always an inner battle.<br /><br />Like you, I do journal, and I agree that writing is really helping me sort through things. Thank you for your well wishes about my test this week; whatever the outcome, I've decided to remain strong.<br /><br />Keep writing! Your blog is awesome.Beth L.

Sometimes I think you just have to let yourself feel too, even if it is fear you are feeling, the tricky part is not letting it overtake you. For me what helps is writing. I write down my thoughts - fears and all. I believe journaling is a very powerful tool. Then later on I look back on what I wrote and see I survived after all. As a writer, you probably already do that though. Good luck with your test this week, Beth.nancyspointhttp://www.nancyspoint.comnoreply@blogger.com
