Accentuate the positive
I have a tendency to absorb stress and overwhelming demands and then later, much later after the fact, I have my meltdown. I’ve got a slow slow trigger and like a pot of water trying to boil at a million feet, it takes a long time to see the bubbles on the surface. But I think lately I snapped. The stress of the summer finally added up to bubbles. Sure, Portugal helped relieve the pressure. And yes, Nantucket, was a godsend in reconnecting with a piece of my network. But after all the stress blew out and the facts remained, that is when I got sad, and basically a little blue about the whole everything.
But I decided when I was walking back home today to start focusing on the positive, instead of the negative. Yes, most people could care less that I have a blog, but I have over a 1,000 new readers coming to my blog a month (not bad)! Yes, the mortgage is still high, but I get to live in the LaLa and that is worth far more than fretting about what I owe vs what the bank owes. The adoption kicks into high gear on October 11th when we begin advertising, and while this isn’t how we pictured having our baby, it is the opportunity that has opened for us. Since I haven’t been happy with my spare tire and my exercise routine, I changed it recently and I’m already seeing the results – ommm, a drop of water exerts the most force.
So what is fabulous about your life – if you could name two things that are wonderful, than you too have a lot to be happy about. Happy Monday, Happy Week, Happy First Day of the Rest of Your Life.
