Just for today
Permalink  

I am going to not figure out what might happen in my future, but look at the present moment and see the beauty in my surroundings. I am going to enjoy my visit with my sister and not think about what my AH might do! I am going to bring humor into my day like making laughing animal noises with my kids to not feel the anxiety balled inside of me.  I will make plans and keep my thoughts busy with joy and happiness. I will tell myself I am doing great and I am loved.  I will overcome my day and enjoy every minute. I will tell the voices in my head to not figure everything out and stop fixing everything. I will read positive quotes and apply them to my life. I tell myself I need to cheer myself up and not feel guilty about another persons behavior. I will do something nice for someone which helps me not think about my problems. I will tell myself life has so many things to show me if I will be open to let them in my life.

 Hey Lexie...You go girl!!! enjoy sister, let AH do what hes gotta do..Love your plan here!!!! I find that when I am majorally stressed (a lot of late with this horrid year) I get out and MAKE me have fun..sports...brousing thrift shops...visiting close friends (I have no family here, not really..separated from adopted daughter and her mental abuse) so I just "do life" for me..with me...lots of times alone, but its OK, I am doing happy stuff...........and yes, if i am open, life CAN be fun, if I open my heart to it..........VERY nice share, Lexie, you enjoy!!!!!!  take care
