Other gasbarro 2008-05-29T11:17:49-05:00 http://www.gasbarro.net/pasco/archives/000176.html When you're faced with circumstances in life over which you have no control, you'll search for something that gives you that feeling. Sometimes these behaviors are self-destructive, very immediate and apparent: alcohol, drugs, violence, or other activities that damage mind, body, and life. Cancer gasbarro 2008-03-09T22:20:30-05:00 http://www.gasbarro.net/pasco/archives/000168.html At this moment, on New Year's Eve, I'm thankful and I want to express that gratitude. The feeling of gratitude might seem odd, given the misfortune we've faced and the future to come. But it's still there after all these years.

Jean's undergone these checkups for six-going-on-seven years. We deal with the anxiety in a variety of ways: mostly by distracting ourselves with too much. Cancer pasco 2007-02-17T09:11:11-05:00 http://www.gasbarro.net/pasco/archives/000150.html Several months ago, someone asked me casually, "How do you wake up in the morning?" It's a simple question. The question within it was, "When your wife is facing a chronic, life-threatening and incurable illness, how do you go on?" My answer at the time was short and profound. "Um... I don't know."
