View THEFATCHICK's food & exercise for this day

I used to love Sunday's but now I wonder what new misery will creep into our lives today. I feel like life is testing me in a way that breaks me down and forces me to pick myself up, dig my heels in and prepare for the next blow which in turn I know also makes me stronger even though I dont feel it now. I feel like it's somehow preparing me for something bigger, something yet to come but having made it through this will help me make it through that but I'm so worn down, tired and broken.

My grand baby is coming again today and he is great for melting away the stress and anxiety for the time I have him. I try to focus on his energy, innocent and happy. Even though he's sick right now he is a joy to be around, a good and happy little man. I cherish my time with him.

My husband and I play with him and tag team throughout the day as needed, it reminds me of when the girls were little...we met at a kids birthday party when my youngest was just a a few months older (15 months) but he has been there every step of the way since.

Well I'm off to get a cup of coffee before my sunshine gets here...have a day and thank you to everyone for your support, it means a lot to me.

When I was at my lowest daily I made myself write down five things that made me happy. I would do it first thing in the morning. Sometimes when life was really tough, I'd make myself do it off and on throughout the day. I'd rip up my first list and try to make a new one. Sometimes I'd try to think of five new things, and sometimes I'd just repeat the items from the previous list. It was hard but I could always come up with something. A bud on a plant that I thought might flower never again, a really nice checker who didn't need to be, the sound of the birds in the morning when I'd lift my window to a new day. The point is to remind yourself that there are still good things in the world and that they're there for you. Until you weather this storm. You will. I have no doubt.
