Trying a new mentality thing. My week sucked honestly. One of the worst weeks ever. But I'm focusing on the positive points in this horrendous week. I want people to discuss their weeks and point out only the positive things. Even it was the week from h*ll, point out the good that came or could come of it.

I survived the week! I'm crawling on the ground now, but gosh darn it I made it! I went to my classes all week, BOTH days, and made it through both of my shifts at work. I haven't done a full week accomplishing everything outside of the house in almost a month now.

I'm still trying to feel accomplished. I didn't pass my test with as high scores as I should haveSad and the blues still kick in whenever I give myself a moment to think, but I am going to focus on the positive. I did it, and made it. That's progress yea? The point is I did it. I don't remember any of it and probably looked like poop on a stick doing it, but what they hey.

How was everyone else's week? Don't forget, point out the positive in the negative!

Kissing Great idea!!

High points of my week: my jeans are getting so baggy that hubby and daughter commented on them!

I've made a couple of jewelry sales. And when I went to the doctor (once/yr gyne) the first thing the doctor asked me was to confirm my birthdate because he thought it was wrong by 10 years!!

Today and yesterday, the sun was shining, the weather was beautiful and I LOVED spending a little time on my deck reading and talking with my husband.

Any advice that I share is only that - my advice. I am not a doctor or expert in anything, except maybe experiencing pain. My "words of wisdom" come from my experiences or my research only.

That's great Auntie. I don't think I'd be in some much pain if Montana was a grand child instead of a grand doggy.

I have survived this sinus infection. Managed to vacuum the carpet, sweep the floors, do laundry, and worked. So I feel I accomplished something this week.

Thanks for this thread--it makes us reflect back on things we have accomplished.
