Happy New Years

Good morning all and may I wish you a happy 2010 new years.


I woke up feeling good, even still feeling good after I weighed in for the month, I weigh myself monthly and no surprise the holiday eating did some minor damage.


But I also wrote in my journal some basic goals for 2010 for my mental health, physical health, spiritual health and social health.


Is my life perfect?   Heck no, and had trouble falling asleep after we saw the new year roll in as my middle sister can't be bothered with caring on my life, but whines to me in an email on our mother, so I am in prayer on that one, to answer with an open heart.  And to accept,  life includes sadness and hurt, but to have faith, to believe, I can live through the pain.


Sure I have depression, sure I have anxiety;  but I also have a lot of positve things going on in my life.  I am choosing the see the glass as half full, and to thank God for that half full glass.


May you all find happiness and joy as well as cope with the other side of the coin, sadness and hurt.


Hugs to all,  Josie

A hug can turn your day around.


The ultimate freedom we have as human beings is the power to select what we will allow our mind to dwell upon.


I am an unique, beautiful, unrepeatable, miracle of God.

When you do something for someone else, you create meaning in your own life as well as theirs. What you give you get to keep. What you fail to give you lose forever.

Hi Stacey: glad you are doing so well.


I have learned that my mental health goes up and down, so on those up days, I am grateful; but I know the down days, or partial days will come.
