Over the past few months while we were in a rental home, dealing with a destroyed home, loss of two cars, and a very sick father…. I began to think. Yes, serious thinking about all I was going through – how we were going to get through it all and still try to smile at the end of each day. I often blog about and offer advice to anyone who is suffering with a sick child or going through something so very horrific to “stay strong, keep their chin up, and think positive”. Well, now it was time for me to take some of my own advice.
I spent many a night lying awake, since this is the best time to really think and conquer all the worlds problems. I had hives from worry, even having to go to the dentist for a toothache that was meerly a grinding jaw issue due to yes, you got it, worrying. It was time to put my good and well deserved advice to the test. I worked hard on focusing on my usual positive attitude even when dad took some turns for the worst. I tried to focus on my good friends and wonderful family who pulled us through this ordeal. Their positive attitudes, humor and helpfulness brought me to the place I needed to be mentally and physically. I removed myself when possible from things that I could not work on and did not need to work on so that I mentally could continue to heal and be in the place I send all of my followers. This place is anywhere you need to be mentally to help you get through your problems. My favorite one to put myself into is the one where I look at others less fortunate than I am remember that I do have it all, most of my health, my families support, love and strength. I have been there ever since.
