Why a Blog?

I mentioned we did a lot of reading while waiting for our appointment at the CSU Cancer Center... Jim was so kind to read me the "What Now?" brochure in the consult room. It talked about the irritability, lack of sleep, moodiness and emotional feelings owners may feel when their pet is diagnosed with cancer. The fact that he was laughing the whole time he was reading is a good indicator I was the perfect example.

So I asked, what do they recommend for stress relief?

1. The first was easy - yoga. I love yoga! I try to go three to five times a week - I'm on a roll already.
2. The second was writing in a journal - hmmm... I didn't really like diaries when I was a kid except that they looked cool and had a cheap lock you could pretend worked. But, what about blogging...

I had been inspired by reading other owner's blogs and experiences while researching Taylor's type of soft tissue sarcoma. So maybe a blog wasn't a bad idea.... Jim agreed (I think he just wants me to be distracted). Since we aren't really dealing with a "quick fix" here - I figured I would give it a try.

Let the blogging continue...
