Positive Post Anyone?
Lets have positive thoughts and post something that is going good in your life.
I'm all packed and ready to leave today for Florida. I'm just going down to secure my condo and then back to the West Coast. I plan on attending a Pirate Festival in St. Augustine with some friends on Saturday.
My son comes home from Afghanistan on the 21st and I will be meeting up with him in Ky.
Have a good week everyone!

You must be excited about your son coming home. Is it to stay or leave ??? have a good trip and the Pirate festival sounds fun!!!
Yes it is sooooooooooooo easy to get down with our pain. I am very busy and always going some where. I am truly blessed I can be busy and volunteer three days a week with the teenagers.

My husband and oldest daughter drove to watch a college football game several hours away. They left about 12 hours ago and will be home shortly.
My youngest and I went to the beauty college for deep conditioning treatments, and free manicures. Then to McDonald's and play land for her. Then to Walmart were we tried on clothes and bought some items. Then to the dollar tree where we shopped somemore. Later we watched a movie together, she pulled out her first two teeth (within minutes of each other!) and I rocked her in the recliner before she went to bed.
I found out my brother got engaged tonight! Yea!
I have done a lot of laundry and except for some tightness in my back, feel pretty good!
Have a good night all!
I'll tell ya.....I know my life is truly blessed, even when I've had little sleep, even when I hurt like the dickens.....all I have to do is drag my butt to work and know I'm blessed. See I work in a long term care facility, we are the largest in the southwest, second largest in the country. 369-beds....and we have 65 residents who are under the age of 64. Our youngest is 23. They have various issues ranging from diseases which can't be treated at home to victims of motor vehicle accidents so they are with us for therapy or long term care due to becoming quads or paraplegics. We have a particular girl who is only 43 yrs old. She's mildly retarded, has cerebral palsy....her mother tried to drown her at birth, locked her in a closet at times to hide her from the world......and then one day according to her sister her mother drove her here to Albuquerque (where the sister lives) dumped her off on our front door and we've never seen her since. I just love this person, although she has her behaviors and such.....she sees her life as her cup is half full, never half empty. Even with the life she's had? She sees the good......she can't stand and her only mode of transportation is an electric wheelchair.....she's gotta be lifted to the toilet and has little fine motor skills.....she can feed herself and that's about it. But she loves country western music and has several autographs from various stars and I pay for her cable service so she can watch her videos...and she keeps busy with crafts....she comes down to my office just to give me something she's made or see how I'm doing:-) I used to be the nursing manager on her unit years ago:-) Anyways, the point is that we can either choose to be sad and fall victim to our situation in life or we can choose to see the good in it. I'm so blessed, I have two wonderful sons who think the world of me....I have a good job in which I can continue to work and support myself....and I have a peaceful life but I had to work hard to eliminate the toxic people in my life....which is hard when you've always been a "yes" person.....people take advantage of people like me. Quality not quantity....that's the key to stress free living and managing our fibromyalgia. And allowing ourselves to see the good instead of focusing on the sad/bad parts of life.
God bless us all today as we strive to see the good in our lives:-)
