And, best of all, books can serve both purposes (distraction, therapy), among others.<br /><br />Thanks for the suggestion! Maybe I'll add Tan's book to my reading pile. I have a few particular texts that I might turn to in times of stress, but nothing that "helps" me in the way you seem to mean.<br /><br />George Clooney's smiling face, however, is a comfort to us all, like a shining light in the darknessThaddeushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17414047155226211676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776031415427663302.post-14545516156065817752014-12-17T11:25:49.717-05:002014-12-17T11:25:49.717-05:00Thanks for the link and while I do agree music can...Thanks for the link and while I do agree music can be very therapeutic, for me, a good novel does the trick. I can name at least three books that helped me thru my dad's death several years ago(one of them was a children's book) and right now, reading The Valley of Amazement by Amy Tan is truly helping me keep focus.<br /><br />Glad to hear that Clooney's face is causing you so much joy:) lady thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16287907577241697874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776031415427663302.post-74260110380756791432014-12-16T12:55:42.320-05:002014-12-16T12:55:42.320-05:00I'm so sorry! Multiple illnesses in the family...I'm so sorry! Multiple illnesses in the family just make it worse - nobody gets a chance to rest up. And hospice care... it's like a neonatal intensive care unit: I wish such places didn't need to exist.<br /><br />One resource that might help is http://www.cancercommons.org/ they can provide a lot of advice on treatments and whatnot.<br /><br />Pop culture helps, yes - although I insist that movies and tv are only distractions, while music feels like actual therapy/help. I make at least two or three people laugh every single bloody day of my life, & it's nice to get that energy from someone/thing else, instead of always generating the positivity on my own. It's even more important with the hectic pace of this month...<br /><br />But this image in particular was nice, and if you saw my post in June you know my roommates & I spray-painted a stencil of George's smiling face into our home-made table. It was enough to perk my spirits, then it reminded me of that amazing Indian film...Thaddeushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17414047155226211676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776031415427663302.post-42960040534346200902014-12-16T11:30:29.505-05:002014-12-16T11:30:29.505-05:00I know how you feel, I have an uncle going through... I know how you feel, I have an uncle going through cancer troubles(his wife just finished up her chemo,too!) and my half brother is sadly in hospice care in another state. On the plus side, my mom is recovering from her surgery(which turned out to be two,due to a follow-up procedure) rather well.<br /><br />Keeping a sense of humor and appreciation for the good things in life is hard but that's when pop culture proves it's value. Discovering new genres or stories doesn't solve your problems but it can make your day go a little bit better.<br /><br />And yeah, Clooney does look like that guy!lady thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16287907577241697874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776031415427663302.post-62962802628879281582014-12-15T16:33:28.892-05:002014-12-15T16:33:28.892-05:00It's the hair and the overall shape of the fac...It's the hair and the overall shape of the face, especially around the jaw-line.<br /><br />Thank you so much, love!Thaddeushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17414047155226211676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776031415427663302.post-30810615306325526852014-12-15T15:51:14.820-05:002014-12-15T15:51:14.820-05:00Aww thanks for the link.
