Changing Focus

It's one of those situations where something happened beyond my control.  Not stressing, not stressing, not stressing.  GAH!  Stressing!  Breathe and believe!!  Breathe and believe!!  Negativity be gone!  Getting rid of the bad day blues today has been a process, but one I've been able to share with a couple of friends.  It's so effective I thought I would blog it so I can revisit it the next time I have a speed bump in the road.

I can't change the past.  But that doesn't mean my future is going to go the same way.  I refuse to make self-fulfilling prophecies: by assuming the day will remain as challenging I will focus my energy and assure it will.  So...how does this affect the big picture of my life?  This situation is a blip in the scheme of things, lesson learned and moving forward.  Does this ruin my day?  It stinks, really, but I'm blessed.  Switching focus, I can say that my taxes are paid, my bills are current, my husband loves me, my family is wonderful, my dog is mostly healthy, my garden is producing, even though I'm sick I am starting to get better, and I have chili that is yummy-licious.  De-stressing: getting up and working out will help with the mood boost.  Attitude change?  You betcha.  I have so many opportunities in my future and it all depends on the path I plan - and yes, I have some incredible dreams in mind.
