Linda, After some thought yesterday and after reading your note...I think I may just start celebrating my TM anniversary...Why, you ask..? Well, because as this first year has passed, I look back and look at what I have accomplished in that year...and dammit....that in itself is reason to celebrate. In the coming years I'm sure that I will continue to make some more small baby steps in recovery, so I may as well celebrate.
You are right in saying though..about not forgetting, I'm quite sure that I will never forget the day that TM reared it's ugly head. It is burned into my memory like a hot poker into a piece of wood. I am glad to hear from you and others that I have spoken with...that many years down the road and you are still making some recovery. That gives me quite a lot of hope. Thanks for the kind words about my blog...I will continue updating it as long as I have things to write about so stay tuned....who knows what's around the bend.. Be well everyone....

It was 7 years for me last month and I remember the onset like it was yesterday. I don't know if you remember a couple of weeks ago on the list we were talking about how much we've gained, what we've gained, or if we've gained anything after the 2-yr mark. I'm still noticing improvements in many areas after 7 years. On the other hand, I've had some challenges along the way too. As we say, one day at a time. I have checked out your blog - it's great. For all of us - Many more good days ahead for sure Linda - Eagle,ID ----- Original Message ----- From: kevin weilacher To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Sent: Thursday, May 14, 2009 2:04 PM Subject: [TMIC] My one year TM anniversary I have reached my one year TM anniversary today....what a ride it's been..!!
