look on the bright side
Keep your face to the sunshine and you can never see the shadow. Helen Keller.
As long you are looking on the bright side of things you’ll ignoring the no so good things in your life. What you give attention to grows, so if you are focusing on what’s wrong in your life you’ll just get more of it to focus on, but is you focus on what’s right in your life, what makes you happy, what you are grateful for, and why things are so fantastic for you, you’ll only get more of the same to be happy and grateful for. Some days are easier to face towards the sunshine than others, but it always there , you just have to try harder during hard times.

But it is not easy. I NEVER had any rose-coloured glasses.
I am grateful and I will never stop trying to be better and do better....and sometimes I am happy. And wow, how good is that? Happy. It comes....sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. If we work for it.
So onward together always.....blessed to be on this journey with you.
♥PS.....Sorry you had a sleepless night.....sending more love.

The book sounds very interesting and I've been meaning to read it myself.

Hi Everyone. 24 more hours for me please.
Congratulations to those achieving milestones today.
A happy dance for myself at 5 months. I relapsed at almost 4 months and had to start again. I seldom have cravings anymore, but this morning while walking off the golf course, I had a sudden (though very brief) desire at 10:00 a.m for a drink I don't know where that came from. It was only in passing and lasted less than 30 seconds.
It has become significantly less hard for me this last month because my husband quit drinking. He's trying to lose weight and just quit . He said he doesn't miss it. My life is so much more pleasant. I hope it lasts.
5:16 p.m.

Checking in for today, still overwhelmingly exhausted. I think I expected too much from my body too soon after the injury and I might have burned myself out a little bit. Feeling just drained most of the time, both emotionally and physically. Not even anxious, just wanting to sleep 24/7.
Sending much love to everyone!

I spent the night with my mom when I flew back a few weeks ago. I pulled two chairs together, and was very uncomfortable. I should have asked for a recliner or some sort of cot. Check with the nurses, they may be able to get you something if you want to stay.
