#CanSky have you ever had the chance to speak to cancer researchers about their #research at an event for example? How did it make you feel about your own cancer journey? How did it make you feel about the state of cancer science and how did it make you feel about the doctors and scientists?

“That they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francis’s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,” said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. “They are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.”

Storm Anxiety: So, one thing that has proven helpful on days like today is to narrow our focus to things you can control. Casting a wide net for your emotions that includes what happens in MS/AL may not be healthy for you. Narrow your intake to your immediate surroundings.

Trump's attacks on the Department of Education should remind us never to elect to high office anyone without a stake in society. We suffered the same in the UK from 2010, when people who used private healthcare and private schools ripped up public services.
