I looked for the positive and it helped refresh me.MaryHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493683144411995592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037499475720773192.post-22831690031187438252012-04-06T12:47:37.212-05:002012-04-06T12:47:37.212-05:00I was just talking with my depression-prone son (K...I was just talking with my depression-prone son (Kade) last night about not getting caught up in negative thoughts and getting hung up, rather, on the good stuff. We made a list of all his blessings and soon he was smiling again even though his negative circumstances didn't change. We control our thoughts and attitudes. We're only victims of the unkindness of others if we allow it. You're right to count your blessings! It's empowering to take the control back. "You is kind. You is smart. You is important." (Aibileen Clark, The Help.) And I would add that you are STRONG and COURAGEOUS! You can do this! If you ever need the reminder, never hesitate to call. (I don't like hearing that you hesitate. Never do that. NEVER!) I like reminding you who you are. Because who you are is so amazing, it makes me smile to tell someone about it...especially you. :)The Savvy Sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07068982349795252478noreply@blogger.com
