Really Really Really struggling with staying positive the last couple of days. I started a week ago on a 30 day challenge to post on Facebook a positive quote. It seems easy and I was out to stop some of the whiny posts I read about small stuff. Some people just NEVER seem to be happy. So in doing this, several things have went wrong for me. Almost as a challenge to keep posting "good happy quotes" when I am crying on the inside.
Friday-Sunday our puppy, Jazzy had a anaphylactic reaction to her vaccinations and got very sick. We had a few hard, scary days with her.
Monday, I woke up with a fever, did not feel well all day.
Tuesday, my car did not start. Will be towed this morning to the dealer, hopefully fixed under warranty.
Wednesday, yes today..I woke up at 3 in pain when I turned over in bed. I got up and could not put any weight on my foot. Feels like a sprain:( Ibuprofen and put my foot up. I have no clue what I did. However I got on the scale. To my surprise I was 210. I am officially 15lbs down!!
So, I'm guessing God has given me something to be happy and positive about. Then I started thinking, we love our puppy that much more because we saw her so sick, when she shows unconditional love to us. Also, I was sick but I work from home and could lay around and go back to bed. Next, I thought..we have 2 cars, insurance and money in the bank. Our car only has 4000 miles left on the warranty and even though it is an inconvenience, it will beneficial to have it fixed now and actually a blessing in disguise. I don't have anything secretly positive about my foot, but if that is the worst..I got this! Here is a quote from one of my favorite people, Tony Dungy that fits this recap "Sometimes I think God wants there to be a circus so we can show there's another way to respond." I too believe you have a choice on how you handle life, for me..I hope to stay positive, I have plenty to be thankful for <3
