I've realize that the most important thing....

in dealing with my fibro and the success or lack thereof in any treatment(s) is my attitude. Honestly, when you think about it, anything in life is affected by your attitude. If you're attitude stinks, it pretty much stands to reason that you won't feel very well, no matter what you're trying to do or achieve. 


I've been reading quite of bit of what I've written over the past several years and much of it is very negative. Now, over 15 years you'd think that I would "get it". 


What do I mean "get it"? Well, I guess before I "got it", I really had no "stability" and "sense of trust" in my life. I felt that the future was up to me, up to the economy, up to someone's mood, the weather??! But it isn't up to all of those things. Meaning, it's up to one single person or being, for me....NOW, it's God. But I never put two and two together, therefore, I never felt a sense of comfort, purpose, and optimism for any long period of time. 


I can honestly say that over the past year, my worries have all but vanished, I feel more positive, more comfortable with who I am, where I am and what I do on a daily basis. I don't crave people's approval, I don't feel lonely (even if I'm alone for a substantial period of time) and I don't feel the need for immediate gratification. I wait, I make smart decisions and I trust that once I've made a decision, it's a good one. Then I let go and "let God", so to speak. In other words, I stop second guessing and worrying isn't a part of much of anything anymore.


Life is much better...than it was a year ago....and actually, in that year, my husband has lost his job and has nothing "employment-wise" coming in the foreseeable future. But he does what he can and I do what I can to help and then we leave it with God. There's no tension. I sleep at night. 


After all, I can only do/control so much. So, it's time to figure out what would help your attitude stay positive and healthy, because then and only then, will your life with Fibro be a life worth living. 


You are very important, put yourself first, obviously, but maybe just before that, take a look at your "attitude". Is it in need of an overhaul and if so, why? 


Blessings.....are all around us....we just have to look. 


Good night....
