                                                  WRITING THERAPY

               “Denny, you need to write your thoughts down, use
               writing as a form of therapy.  Maybe start with a
               simple journal and go from there ….”

                                                        Dr. Larmore

               Writing is a form of expressive therapy that uses the
               act of writing and processing the written word as
               treatment. Writing therapy suggests that writing one's
               feelings gradually eases feelings of emotional trauma.

                                             Note to Dr. Larmore:

               It took some time, the journey was/is bumpy, the

               mission was/is critical.  I’m pleased to report:

                                             MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
