thank you....

Thank you Cammy and all of you who read, comment, and support those of us who are struggling. You just don't know how a few encouraging words can make some ones whole day, week or year.

I was going about my day as usual yesterday putting things off and not making any plans to follow through on doing something for me until I quickly checked my email yesterday afternoon. Each day that I get the time, I check to see if some one has emailed me or commented on my blog and as usual....not much.....well, why should there be, I never email anyone and I rarely blog so how can I expect someone to contact me back. But yesterday, low and behold the ever encouraging Cammy has left me a comment. Now, let me say I agree with her 100% on the issue of taking care of myself first will then benefit the rest of my family because I will feel better and then be better able to take care of them without being grouchy !!! It's that horrible negative side of me that says I don't have time or, I don't deserve it for whatever reason or, I'm too tired, always putting things off...etc. All the excuses. So, I checked my email and there it was a comment from Cammy. First I read it and thought yea, I agree. Then the P.S. part..... oh, no some one caught me putting it off again, ok I'll get off my but and go make that appointment. And the last part is what really made a difference...." because I can't think of anyone who deserves it more!" And you know what I do deserve to take care of me! I am worth it and I need to believe this again so I can keep moving forward. I made that phone call and I am on my way of taking care of some things I need to do for me to feel better... and be less stressed. And that sent a chain reaction to my brain thinking of other things I could do that would make me happy. Now, I just need to make a list and try to do some of them.
My eating has been ok....but not the best the last couple of days. I'm still trying and not giving up. I did go to karate last night and was there for 2 hours. I didn't work as hard for the 2 hours as usual but it was fun, I always enjoy going and learning new things. I may help with a tournament this week....not sure yet.
Have a happy healthy day...you are worth it too!!
