Day 14 for me and I am feeling really optimistic. The weather is stunning and I went for a bike ride this morning. I found myself singing "Oh what a beautiful morning!" from Oklahoma out loud on my bike!
That's strange, I read something very similar last night....how we can become addicted to negative spirals and just as equally to positive spirals (spirals of thought) so better to catch yourself before you slip into a negative spiral and seek the positive
sounds like a cool course
