View LYNNABEL's food & exercise for this day
With all that people suffer in our world, it seems like my tribulations should feel miniscule to me, but of course the don't.
I realized yesterday that I've been in a funk since before Christmas. I don't think there is any single cause, but several that together have got me holding at just below water. I don't want to NOT appreciate my life or my husband or my children or the fact that I have gainful employment, but that's what's happening. I want to be more mindful of my blessings, but its a hard thing to FORCE to happen in yourself.
I'm going to be doing some thinking over the next day or two and see if I can plan a way forward.

Be easy on yourself!

Hey sweet friend. I've found sometimes that 'fake it til you make it' actually DOES work, even with mood/attitude adjusting. When I find myself complaining (aloud or in my head), intentionally replacing that thought with a thought of gratitude or affirmation helps. Yes, Pollyanna. Yes, easier said than done. Yet somehow, it eventually works.
All I know is, you're awesome and you're loved.
