Hi MsL,
Thank you so much for the interesting article on meditation. I know from experience meditation, positive thoughts help us physically, emotionally and mentally. Being around a negative person is very difficult, especially if they are a close family member.
And with RSD and chronic pain, it takes effort to stay in a positive frame of mind, but it IS possible. Happiness is an inside job! I was in therapy for a couple years plus in the 80's when my parents died. It helped me so much-to this day. I've had RSD 14 years and I work every day on my mind set, meditation, prayer, and positive thought process.
I grew up in Oregon about 50 miles inland from Florence. Loved going to the coast camping. So beautiful. Thank you again for the info, your friend, loretta soft hugs
