I have so many negative thoughts running through my head. I need some how to shift gears. Six good things can happen and all I think about is one bad thing that happened.
Do you like to journal? I suggest making a "Gratitude Journal". List 3 good things that happen each day. (or any number you choose). Do it daily. One journal with only things you are thankful for. It could be a kiss. It can be your son. Your jeep. Whatever. Then when you start to have a negative thought pull out the journal and reread all the positive stuff in your life. This is not my orginal idea....can't remember the name of the book that I got it from, but it might help you shift gears.

A little journaling,
4 MORE DAYS..........Wife is going from one extreme to the other Happy one minute and real quiet the next. 4th of July went great. NO tension at all. I wanted so bad to walk up to Wife and put my arms around her. But I did not. I promised her. Wife is really into her computer class. I think like me she is burying herself in it to keep busy. Me... I have been doing Yard work and my house and MIL house, Primmer the roof of the Mustang, Fixed the fence, vacuumed the pool, repaired and painted the garage door at MIL house.... The next big step for me is to discuss next Friday. We have not said one word about it to each other. I think the hour long ride to get there is going to be the Quietest, longest ride I ever took. I have NO idea what to talk about. This last week I have had tooooo many negative thoughts ruining through my pea brain. Sooo for the next 4 days I am going to be going to sleep listening to "the secret". Laws of attraction show. With positive thinking.
"See the things that you want as already yours. Know that they will to you at need. Then let them come. Don't fret and worry about them. Don't think about your lack of them. Think of them as yours, as belonging to you, as already in your possession"
Robert Collier (1885-1950)
"whether you think you can or think you can't, either way you are right"
Henry ford (1863-1947)
"what you resist persists." Earl Jung )1875-1961)
"Imagination is everything.It is the preview of life's comming attractions"
Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
later that day Update…..
I was thinking about the cat getting fed next weekend and remembered this feeding dish that has a storage bowl that feeds automatically. I went in the closet and got it out. Just then my wife called me into the living room and asked me if I ask D to come over and feed the cat next Saturday. I was holding the container and she then said we could just use that because D lives out of town. I told her that is what I was thinking but D is coming to my mom's anyway because she said she would help with our son and dog that are staying there. Sooo there is no need for me to bring it up now. IT IS DONE... I printed out the conformation letter and the directions so all that is left is for Friday to get here. (And for me to think of something to talk about during the ride)

Do you have a cd player in the car? You could check out a book on tape from the library....some nice positive story. OR has your wife listened to The Secret?
IT's offical, 3 more days I have a small set back. Somehow I must have pinched a nerve in my back. If I lie down or sit down for a period of time I can't move my neck. I feel like I have a neck brace on. (Walk like Frankenstein) I am making an appointment for Chiro today.

On the way to Colorado from Florida we pass through Texas. One night at midnight we failed to stop at the last hotel in Fort Worth. But there was a sign that said Wichita Falls 60 miles. So we thought OK, we'll go one more hour to Wichita Falls. Then as we drove from Fort Worth to Wichita Falls the signs seemed to have put up willy-nilly. Sometimes we thought Wichita Falls was getting close, but then the next sign said it was even further away. We never did figure it out.
Your method of counting the days reminds me of the signs to Wichita Falls. Wasn't it 2 days just 2 day ago?
I make lists of things to talk about with my H, sometimes I need them, more often these days I dont. It might seem a little awkward pulling out a list in the car, but it might be better than silence. Have a good trip.
I guess I gave the wrong finger to the wrong man...
Husband, Haven't been around for awhile -- I haven't even been lurking. But I knew your weekend had to be coming up so I visited this morning to see what was going on. And the weekend is upon you! I've got a lot going on this weekend but you'll be in my thoughts.
