I am giggling at the comments you guys left me in the previous post. Don't worry, it is just something I had to get off my chest. I am learning to let things go! I have to, in order to be happy and mentally healthy.

Yesterday I spent the day with my mother. I joined her at her home around 10 am so that we could pick up her husband's car from his work and take it to have the windows tinted with "the darkest legal tint available" She said she doesn't want to give the police a reason to pull them over! (inside joke)

My mother is sooo positive and full of happiness that I just want to soak in every minute that we are together. It is almost impossible to explain the feeling of having a mother like mine....she is about 5'8' and I am only 5'5" so I am always looking up to her and still feeling as if she is really 'mommy'. She is so strong and assertive with many underlying emotional issues, as most people that I know. Nothing new there! I just can't say enough about my mother.

Anyway..I was feeling down for whatever reason and she encouraged me to start more positive 'self speak'. Telling yourself positive things and what you want to be, what you know you can be!

"I am strong."
"I am smart."
"I am beautiful"
"I am healthy"
"I can live the right way"

Basically I did it and I was actually a little bit surprised to wake up this morning feeling about 95% better. I guess I am not ready to confess to the world my every health issue, and I shouldn't have to. But I DO have a couple that I have discussed with close friends. I will continue this positive self speak and see how things go!

Namaste,
Sarah
