Letters to the MonSter: BEHAVIORS OF MENTALLY STRONG PEOPLE

                                                                                                                              Good morning, from snowy Monongah, West Virginia!

Keeping  my fingers crossed, i will soon receive  my first disability installment. With that, I will pay off as many current medical bills as possible and then...I will return to physical therapy. Because I have committed  to journal-ling  more dependably , I will then record differences I see in my physical, emotional ,
