Sweater Grrl has returned!
My message for today is very simple:
CELEBRATE YOUR HEALTH.
Even if you're not in perfect health, rejoice in whatever health you have. Chances are you're healthier than a lot of people in this country, no matter what your situation might be. So rejoice. Revel. And be grateful. Don't waste this precious day crying about what you no longer have or what you can no longer do. Appreciate what you still have and what you can continue to do. And be thankful. G-d, Jesus, Mohammed, Mother Nature, Buda, whoever you believe in and if you don't believe at all, just say thank you. I learned that lesson from Oprah. Oprah says, no matter whether in good times or in bad, just say "thank you." Often saying "thank you" when times are bad can be quite comforting. I'm still learning how to say "thank you" when times are bad. I certainly haven't been saying thank you very much during the past three months. But I'm saying it now. And hopefully I'll remember to say it when the darkness rolls in again. As I understand that it will.
This is not designed to be a guilt trip. Just a suggestion. And I'm not saying that negativity isn't allowed. Everyone takes those trips. Jealousy, Frustration, Anger, Guilt...I have been there many times. Not nice places to visit, and I don't want to live in any of them.
Therefore, this post.
