Afternoon all. Its my Monday and a change of shifts to boot, so I have spent my days off trying not to dwell on it. I always imagine the worst case scenarios. One of the issues that I need to actively work on. One thing I have been trying to do is everytime I do an eye roll or think a negative thought about someone or something is to than find and count 2 blessings that I have. Something positive about what I just thought negative of. Not as easy as I had thought would be.

Well.....I think that Gilmer might say that she would do the eye roll, then laugh at herself and then do something nice for someone else. You don't want to be punishing yourself darling badge....you are wonderful.

A little poem from my treasures that reminds me of the Gilmerites.
I am grateful to be walking with each of you.
Keep Walking...
Barbara Aldrich
Here we stand together,
Dressed in our pain,
Covered with scars
From wounds we did not ask for
Or deserve.
So what now?
We can't go back and relive our lives.
We can't take back the innocence we lost
Or make the sadness we felt into happiness.
But we can go on from here,
So let us start.
Stretch out your hand to mine,
Close your eyes
And slowly let the pain slip away.
Let go of the sadness;
It belongs to yesterday,
And let's walk.
The earth is firm beneath our feet.
The sun is warm on our face.
Heavenly Father sees our struggle,
Smiles at our effort,
And sends us strength.
My friends, we can't stay, looking back,
Lest we falter.
We must face forward,
Eyes wide open,
And keep on walking.
Hold tight and don't let go;
You aren't walking alone,
And neither am I.
I am grateful to be walking with each of you.
Keep Walking...

I've been needing to get back into exercise, so today I found something on Youtube....the workout video was done in this lady's home with just her and her mother, but this adorable little dog kept walking around in the background....a light colored French Bulldog....I was like "Hey, It's Gilmer!" That was my highlight of the video for sure
