Comments for Alyson Woloshyn http://alysonwoloshyn.com A website to follow's Alyson's cancer story Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:08:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Comment on About Alyson by RJ http://alysonwoloshyn.com/about/comment-page-1/#comment-28078 RJ Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:08:45 +0000 http:/?page_id=2#comment-28078 Hi Alyson, Thanks so much for your recipe on how to SHAKE the BLUES! I bumbled upon your blog this AM when searching for how to (...again...) get "glummlies" out of my life, especially on such a fine and sun-shiny morning as today. PTSD and SAD are a couple of perenial companions that I want (and need!) to have stay out of my life for much longer periods at a time. They seem to come when they want, and stay around until they decide to leave me on their own schedule. With prayer, love, and laughter we can all flourish!!! Our thoughts and prayers go out to you, Jared and your family!!! I played "St. Anne's Reel" on both the fiddle and the mandolin after I read your blog; and I sent warm and comforting thoughts to you as I played them. It has only been 14 months since I started concurrently learning these two instruments, but with everyday playing and practicing I can definitely hear much improvement. My four Maine Coon Cats (3F/1M) no longer lie on the sheet music, on the table, and then look up and dare me to play another squeaky note. And my two Siberian Huskies have long since stopped howling to be let outside whenever I start playing. One of my favorite comedians/ventriloquists is Jeff Dunham. His side-kick "Walter" is something else, and his friend "Peanut" ALWAYS makes me laugh and feel younger again. Look them up on "Youtube". (St.) Valentines' Day is coming up next Tuesday (14 Feb), I hope that you and Jared can go somewhere special, and that both of you have a happy and sunshiny day!!! All the Best!!! RJ Hi Alyson,

I truly think the world would be a much happier spot if everyone had your outlook and positivity. You and Jared are always quietly in my thoughts and even Sophie still asks about you being her 'bucket' in Fairmont last year. Keep strong. I have proclaimed 2012 to be the year of 'Do what ya Dig' and it seems to be working so far...Have a Happy Friday! Sue Hi Alyson

Hang in there, my dear. Sincerely, Sharon Hi Alyson,

He is in the middle of his 6wks of treatment and had his surgery on Dec. 9th...needless to say this has been devastating although my husband is very positive which will help him greatly. I too have read about a lot of stories of ppl who have survived for a lot longer than the average...it seems that the younger the person is and the healthier they are makes the difference. Thanks for creating this blog as there is not a lot of info out there for ppl our age battling this thing, like you said it mostly hits older men. Sarah Hi Alyson,
