—Sidney Jourard
A man's recovery is in knowing himself honestly and learning to have loving relationships with others. Many of us have had close calls with death as the consequence of our addictions or codependency. We ignored the dangers in our lives and many of us neglected our health. We wore ourselves out and wasted our energies.
Spiritual recovery and physical health go hand in hand. In recovery, moving toward fullness in life, our selves are returned to us. We leave behind our old learning and habits because they were lethal. We are becoming men who tune in to ourselves and to others around us. We are looking at ourselves and saying, "I'll work with it!"
I will not hide myself; I will continue to be open with myself and others.

Ok - that's my public service announcement for the day.
Another 24 more for me please.

Wear sunscreen, too - at least 30SPF.
Have faith, lyddie. I had a rather large-ish skin cancer excision a little bit ago; you can hardly see the scar now. It has become so much less noticeable.

P.S. - Always wear at least 75 SPF on the site of the scar for at least the first year (per my dermatologist)
Another round of applause
