Comment by Conxita Vidal-Coll on February 10, 2013 at 10:03pm: Dear friends,

Now I am 60 yo, I find some paths closing but some others opening. And I have a new friend, with her own head, with whom I am working on a Psychotherapy Team, named "Synapse Psicoteràpia". In the process of writing the site's web, we are learning a lot from each other, and one of the results is the initiation of a set of Workshops, the first about "The personal book of our life": http://synapsepsicoterapia.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/el-nostre-ll.... I am very enthusiastic of it, because it may help myself as well as the clients to "age with grace". Also, the Workshops will take place within a "Care for yourself"-space in a Business Centre, where others professionals will talk about external oneself-care, and we about the care from inside-out.

Do you have any suggestions to help me work through accepting own's hystoy of life and to life in a moment to moment mindfulness better present and for the future?

Thank you.

El objetivo es alargar los años de buena salud y concentrar la vejez en un corto periodo al final de la vida | Actividad física intensa y dieta baja en calorías ayudan a mantener el vigor hasta edades avanzadas | Fuster cree posible prevenir el declive neurológico igual que se ha logrado prevenir la insuficiencia cardiaca.

Comment by Walter Alan Mandell on June 20, 2011 at 6:43pm: I had the eye surgery today. My left eye is patched so at present I can see nothing with it. But the good news is that I have had no pain, none at all. The bad news is I have to keep looking down so the gas bubble inserted into the eye can press against the retina. I guess things will be looking up when I'm allowed to.

I've boarded my 4 Huskies so I won't have to be dealing with them until I pick them up later this week (hopefully).

Comment by Hartmut Friedrichs on June 20, 2011 at 1:43am: Walter, I wish you good luck and all the patience your experience in mindfulness can muster.

Comment by Walter Alan Mandell on June 19, 2011 at 3:55pm: Tomorrow I have retinal surgery done on an outpatient basis for repair of the re-opened retinal hole. Unlike the first time, I don't feel frightened, for I know pretty much what to expect. The head down regimen after the surgery though is something I'm not looking forward to at all. I'm not frightened of it, just hate going through it again.

It will be a good 'heads up' when I'm told that I can stop keeping my head down!

The good part is that eye surgery is virtually painless, really. I know this from one retinal hole repair and 2 cataract operations (one on each eye).

Comment by Walter Alan Mandell on May 24, 2011 at 4:33pm: Hartmut,

Thanks for your concern, but I'll be okay. A rather rough week or couple of weeks perhaps, but all considered, not that bad. I've been through retinal surgery once before, it's hardly the end of the world.
