Fresh Start

I watched the sunrise today, haven't done that for awhile. I then realized that the beginning of every day is a "fresh start". It doesn't matter where you were yesterday, last year, or even 5 minutes ago. You can begin anew daily.

I have realized that I tend to take the little things for granted. The birds meet you with a morning song and the air has a cool touch. You breath in and have a moment of serenity, when you know that everything is going to be fantastic, but then we slowly get bogged down by everything through out the day. If we can just hold that thought and bring it back in our moments of "bogness", we can continue being happy and having that fantastic feeling last.

My therapist and I have decided that I write down 10 positive things before I eat breakfast. I have challenged myself to make sure that every days is different. Don't loose that feeling of hope and don't you dare give up. Life today isn't easy and there are so many allies that we can take to make the pain go away, live in it and conquer the pain, the sadness, the loneliness, or whatever it may be. With this you become a stronger being. You are what you overcome and your weaknesses become your strengths.

I am finding out that I am a strong person, I just needed to be tested to find that out. I know now that I can overcome anything that is thrown my way, whether or not I think I can get past it, in that moment. I have friends and family that care dearly for me and would help me if I ever needed it. I have doctors that I consult with about my health on a regular bases. I am becoming something I never thought I could be, STRONG!
