Mrs. Brightside

I picked negativity as my Detox goal for this month, and it couldn’t have been a more perfect or timely choice. I haven’t had as much time as I would like to devote to the Blog this month because of health issues with son and my mother, which have left me somewhat overwhelmed and far more ready to bitch and whine than usual. I’ve made every effort to be positive, not only with what I present to others but with my own thoughts and outlook. I read “A Complaint Free World” and have been moving the rubber band from one wrist to another every time I get to urge to throw out something negative and also when I let my mind wander in the wrong direction. Let's just say the latter happens more than I care to admit. I removed myself from a long standing relationship because it was making me miserable, and was so surprised to realize, in the end, I don’t miss that person at all and how much less negativity I feel because of this. I am truly counting my blessings right now, and as dear Ashley reminded me yesterday…I need to let go of the “what if's”, because I can't change anything that has happened, I can only change the outcome.
