keep a positive attitude

to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference

Now it’s time to find a decent set of jacks

My son wanted to know what I would like for Mother’s Day. I told him I would like a beautiful journal to write in. I can’t think of a more perfect day to begin my journal.

the little things I loved as a kid. Swing sets, jacks, hula hoop, jump rope squishing mud between your toes. Life was simpler then and we didn’t have the worries we have today.

I am going to find and purchase a beautiful journal to write in

I wrote about it here and got a wonderfull great virtual hug from an unknown person. I am very happy to say that the medical examination concluded that there was nothing wrong with me after all. That made me very happy!
I feel that i got a second chance to appreciate my life and my family and friends.

This pass month (the month of my birthday), I’ve been extremely negative.

Nothing is going right, what did you expect?

I have been told that I must have a follow up examination after a routine medical checkup. Something was detected that could indicate that there is something seriously wrong with me. On the other hand – it could be false alarm. Statistically 6 of 7 persons that go through this follow up examination are sent home with the message that they are OK. But what if I am the seventh, the one who is in real trouble? In three days I am going to have the examination, and then I probably will have to wait for a week or two before I know the results.
But still, after much thinking and worrying I now manage to feel quite happy about it. There are two possible outcomes: Either I am one of the lucky ones – then I will feel that I have been given a new chance to think about how I really want to live, or I am the one who is diagnosed with a serious illness, then it hopefully can be treated and maybe cured, because it is discovered in an early phase.
It would be really nice to get a friendly cheer (or hug..)

About a month ago I stopped drinking coffee, and dropped milk-products, began to eat very little wheat, pasta, rice etc. and now eat about 80-90 percent raw food. I feel much happier all the time, less angry and stressed. Maybe it is some hormonal change that affects how I feel??

It’s funny. I don’t know if it only happens with me, but when I started this ‘Fake it till you make it’ policy, it kinda souded like I was pretending to be someone else, someone that wasn’t me, maybe ‘cause I’ve been holding a negative attitude for a long time…but I guess it kind of works, so why not continue?

I’m thinking about adopting another policy: “People are as about as happy as they make up their minds to be”. Don’t really agree with that, but I’m willing to give it a try and see what happens…

I’ll try to keep avoiding whatever the dark angel tells me in my left ear =D
