The New Medicine--a show on PBS that looks (slightly) at Integrative Medicine and what's being done. Not as much time spent on mind/body/spirit interventions as on behavioral adjustments being made by the medical professions. But, it spoke to some things that have direct application to what I'm doing and where I am.

Covered some aspect of the role that "hope" plays as well as patient-directed strategies. Some people, like the woman who had had eight operations on her intestinal system, spoke really clearly of the role that her attitude played in getting her where she is today--alive and living a life.

I have much to do to get where I'd like to be. But, I'm on the right track and I'm getting there one step at a time. So be it! It will be!

It was a good day. Did laundry in record time. Picked up a couple of DVDs with comedies. Didn't get in my regular walk today. Ate a lot of protein. Brewing some Smooth Move tea to help keep the stomach channel flowing. Tea time! Later than usual for me recently. Goodly night!
