Hi Cara
Thank you.
Theres not much different between coping and getting by. Somehow though getting by feels more positive. More a me thing than having to cope, it feels more like I have choice. Just like thinking positive is my choice,
A little like being in love with life. If you get hurt you just pick up the pieces and move on. It is your life and your decisions. Roy Orbison wrote a song, "love hurts" Like loving anything, you take a chance of getting hurt and you will sometimes. I think it is worth the chance.
I'm glad thinking positive is working for you. Every little bit adds up. I know the technical reason why it works, but that isn't important is it. Just knowing it works is.
Today the pain and stiffness is gone and I'm ready to start where I left off. The sun is peaking through the clouds and it is going to be a fine day. ( I just had a vision of all the grumpy people gagging at the thought of me being happy)
Some weeks every day is Friday and I just want them over. At least few are Mondays and most Saturdays.
The weekend cometh and I hope it is a good one for you.
A little note, it is harder to think positive when I am not up to par, but it always passes and goes into the past where it doesn't count. Sucky days just make the good ones so much more to cherish.
