Mr Positive

Some of my friends gave me the name Mr. Positive. Not because I am always positive, but because I try to be so. I swear more than I should, just drive with me and you will hear it. I really try to find positive in people.

Right now I am going through a very tough part of my life, but I have to keep positive. It is hard. At times I cry, at times I am depressed, but I keep getting up each day and telling myself that today is going to be a good day.

So, it is 12:30 at night and I am going to go to bed. But you can bet on it, that when I get up, I am going to look for positive things to fill my day.

One step at a time. One breath at a time. Keep striving to fix the bad and make it good.

Toe will heal

I was moving a couch by myself this last weekend. And I dropped the couch on my foot. I also didn't have any shoes on and it hurt, A LOT! I bent over in pain, and looked down. It broke my toenail and was already turning blue.

I will recover from this, and next time I am sure that I will do two things next time. Wear shoes and get help.

Sometimes in life we try to do to much, and we don't ask for help. There is always someone that is willing to help when we ask.

My toe will recover, and it will be fine. Life is like that. It hurts sometimes almost more than we can stand, but with help from friends, family and God we can put one foot in front of the other and get better.

A dear friend of mine just about gave up many years ago. Today, he is happy, successful, and loving life.

Biggest Loser

I love the Biggest Loser. I love that people can change their lives by changing how they live. Most people have faults. Some have weight problems, others it may be drinking, drugs, yelling, being depressed etc. and the list goes on and on.
What I love about the Biggest Loser is that although it is a game, these peoples lives change for the better as the weeks go.
I promise I won't eat treats while watching the final tonight.
I also struggle with weight. It hasn't always been that way. I was 140 pounds when I got married the first time in 1985. Then I weighed 275 pounds when I got married two and a half years ago.
Since then I have lost 25 pounds but it is the hardest thing I have ever done, well almost.
So, if you are depressed because of something, there will be better days. If you think there will be no tomorrow, you are wrong.
Get out of the bed, and take one breath at a time. I know, it has happened to me many times in my life. One breath at a time. Then it will be one minute at a time, and then maybe one hour at a time. Eventually you will be back to normal.
Everyone has bad days, everyone.
But God wants everyone to have good days, no GREAT days also.
So go have a great day. Today and tomorrow.
