Even if you are in a wheelchair, using a cane or walker, there are health-enhancing movements that you can do. Ask a physical or occupational therapist to you some, and keep doing those that appeal to you. Once in a while, and more often than that, you can do exercises that you don't especially like, just because they're good for you.

Here's a look at how exercise can improve your appearance and mood, too:

Let's keep focusing on resilience for a bit.

The EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge book and this blog have explained how to lower your pain with the Pain-o-Meter technique, laughter and more. Here's something from today's headlines. It's based on a sound principle. See if it works for you:

Train Your Brain to Conquer Stress

If I understand the premise of EFT correctly, it has much in common with the techniques described in the article. So do other de-stressing strategies.

Speaking of stress, yesterday I endured my semi-annual vision exam at the eye clinic of the hospital where'd I'd had life-saving brain surgery 10 years ago. The agony of anticipation about scary news at such exams long ago turned into wonder, delighted laughter and spiritual insight. My vision, once written off as "impossible to recover," has made enduring progress for a decade. Not steady progress, rather the stuff that makes medical professionals and merely human me realize that GOD is controlling the result of my efforts, 

I recently began following a macrobiotic menu, in the hopes that the focus on "Balance" could well serve my once traumatized, ever-recovering brain. I even invited you to share a delicious macrobiotic dinner with me, so to speak.

Perhaps macrobiotic menus have promoted the phenomenon recorded in yesterday's findings: My double vision is abating. I see a binocular "picture" from time to time, with increasing frequency and over increasing amounts of time.

I plan to celebrate the development at a gourmet macrobiotic dinner with some friends, next week.

Stay tuned. Sometimes the efforts we make pay off in surprising, unpredictable, unforeseen ways.
