VRP: Why couldn't this have happened to me at a time in my life when I would have expected a lot more health problems!?		Green: I'm baffled why this happened out of the blue since I've been so healthy with good habits and used to working as much as I have.
I have had lots of plans for my life and my lifestyle for this time/phase of my living, and if I now "wallow" in my misery with VRP thinking and talk, I can get myself more down, weaken myself physically and mentally, and could thereby dilute my healing focus and efforts.		Even though this illness may (and probably has) affected my future plans, if I "stay in the Green" I can more fully participate in my treatment and design an alternative set of plans that could yield results that could be equal to and perhaps even more fulfilling than where I thought I was headed.
