Positive Thinking SAVES the day!!!

OK, so new health regime not happening fast.  Yesterday my fybro kicked me in my butt...I still walked and ate OK, but I did not accomplish all I wanted to (does anyone ever really do this???).  Today, I am recuperating from the really bad day yesterday and travel today...

Today, I had an out of town meeting...and for a change it was AWESOME!!!!  But the drive back about killed me and then on getting back to town had to wait for the kidlet to finish up with school activities.  Good news, we were done an hour earlier than I expected!  Bad news, I was too tired and too sore to move to exercises.  Does it count that I put my sweats on to try to work out???  Apparently I'm not too tired or I would be asleep and in bed.  Well, I tried that.  See, this fybro really messes with a person.  Tonight, I hurt too much to be too mobile and can't relax enough to go to sleep.  From what I read that is common.  I have noticed since we lost our insurance and my meds have run out that this really is the case.  Well it sucks.  I really hope increased activity, healthier diet and better mental outlook will all have positive affects on this.  For now it kind of bites the big one.  Let's start with the good and see what happens...

Today's good: 
1) It SNOWED!!!!  And it was beautiful...it was fun to get the dogs out this morning and watch them romp.  2) Off to work (the drive in wasn't as much fun as watching the dogs) but only 3 cars off the road and 1 spinning SUV on the bridge...we avoided it!  Travel to meeting was slightly less fun than the trip into work but still got their safely...lots more cars off the road and some accidents but none looked to serious. YAY!!! 
3) Working on my CCAP and our trainer is Charles McCann...amazing man and wonderful, dynamic trainer.  Good thing because this project is a LOT of work!  Thankfully, Community Actions are something I am passionate about and believe in.  Somehow that always makes tasks easier, doesn't it? 

[Staying focused on the good is making me feel better!!]

4) After the meeting, got caught up on a little work and then got to spend time with my family...and that always makes my day.  My family is so awesome :-)
5) Jeff actually has strong leads on 2 jobs...they aren't what he wants but he would do well at either.  Either way...prayers and positive thoughts welcome...he really needs a job!!!
6) Liz is working on her Mock Trial project and this year is a lawyer...interesting to listen to her...she's all excited about this.  I love it when teens are excited...everything about them just screams HAPPY!!!

There...6 really good things about today.  And now that I'm thinking about it...I can come up with many more.  Hmmm, i"m already feeling better.  Maybe today was a success after all.  I may not have been able to work out like I wanted but I sure do feel better now that I started thinking positively.  I think I won't review the negative.

Hmmm, I do believe positive thinking is good and yes, I am counting today a success!!

May I just end with a request for a prayers and thoughts...a friend of mines brother just passed away.  Poor gal, she has had a time of it.  When she was a girl she awoke from an accident to find out her mom had died...her brother was all she had left.  He was diagnosed just 2 months ago with cancer and it took over his body so quickly.  We are thankful he doesn't have to suffer anymore, but  he has left behind not only his sister but his wife and two little girls.  Please think about this family and others who have experienced loss...send positive thoughts, prayers and even reach out to help.  They need us!!! 

Chris...thinking of you babe!  LOVE YOU!!!!
