Day 1 crash and burn

   Okay this is going to be a lot harder than I thought. Yesterday was an epic crash and burn in terms of banishing my all too familar foe Negativity. He seems to hang around and almost inevitably starts fights between me and my husband. Last night he decided to bring along his pals self doubt and anger. Needless to say after spending way too much time with these all too familar people I failed miserably at my attempt to banish him from my life.

  Waking up this morning I could see traces of their visit on my face. The saggy dark bags under my eyes, the blotchy skin and a splitting headache. But as I moved into the day a new friend showed up and started to erase those signs. That friend is my dear friend Hope. She arrived bringing the unexpected guests of compassion and forgiveness with her. After consuming several glasses of caffeine and enjoying a breakfast of french toast ( hope knows this always makes me feel much better) I am prepared to tackle the challenge anew..

Even though I am assured that at some point Negativity will try to sneak back in today, I am starting to believe that as long as I have hope, compassion and forgiveness on speed dial I might be able to banish him just as fast as he showed up. Well as my dear friend says "One can hope anyway!!!!"
