Lynn- I really enjoyed your post. You touched on something that I have always been a big believer in. You say that one of the things that lift your mood is doing things for yourself. I couldn’t agree more with you on this perspective. When someone is faced with overcoming a traumatic event one of the key elements in that healing process is the ability to gain back the feeling of control. It would have been easy to ask your fiends to come by and split the wood for you.By doing it yourself you give yourself an opportunity to overcome an obstacle and thus giving yourself the chance to feel successful, capable, and in control of your own situation. Nice work.

P.S. I’m glad you liked the puzzle metaphor.
