one more thing to add to the list

Having this blog. (Duh!)

It really helped me to be able to write about what was happening, to stay connected to everyone, and to hear words of encouragement and support. I knew there would be a good side to cancer, and now there is scientific proof: check out this really interesting article from the WSJ about some recent research that shows that human brains work to find the best in every situation, even (and especially) if it's a lousy situation. Fascinating!
