Seeing The Good, Not the Bad

Today has been a day. Easy, but slightly taken aback.

The thoughts have been running today, I am doing better now.

Days are like that when there has been so much change from the norm.

But as I was cleaning up my kitchen. I found this older paper from a few years ago.

It was from my weight loss support group from November one year.

We all got a piece of paper with our name on it.

Entitled what I am thankful for….

But instead of us filling the heart shapes of what we were thankful for, everyone passed them around the room saying what quality they were thankful for in us.

I have to say, this got my brain slowly turned around and in a better mindset.

While I do not have to meet with this amazing group tomorrow, it gives me spark to see the good in me and think of the need to think of all the reasons that I can be a great asset and newly discovered joy to others.

Not focusing on all the negative but being grateful for the many things in my life just as the others that filled in those hearts one evening thought about me.

Despite being in that negative, catastrophic, irrational thinking earlier, there is so much to be grateful for and see beyond the statements that have been resonating in my brain for too long.

I know that when tomorrow comes, all my anxiety and related angry thoughts will disappear because I know that doing what I am going to do is better than sitting here by myself, because I have done that over the weekend and it is now time to get into my routine that I desperately need.

One day. Sometimes One Hour, sometimes to the next thing at a time.

We can do anything we put our minds to!
