Your positives are great kitti. It keeps reminding me that I need to do the same thing on my own thread, and I am now trying.
Thank you for the link. That was great info. I have a FF struggling right now, and when I read it, I knew it was for her. I sent it to her tonight, with the hopes it will renew her strength.
Take care!

POSITIVES
1) daughter had crawled into bed with hubby yesterday morning and fell back to sleep - when i was finished doing my morning duties, i went to snuggle with her, my husband actually let his feet touch mine, he realized they were cold and he let me warm them up on his body...wow
2) watched another movie last night...who woulda thunk???
3) haven't been feeling up to par the last few days and hubby has been very accomodating
Hey Kitti, I like that you posted the excerpt on belief. As I read it I got to thinking about the person I use to be and have come to realize that my "belief factor" is one of the missing elements I haven't been able to put my finger on. A part of me that I have been looking for.
Prior to my R with H I was totally self-reliant. I fixed my own car, did my own home-repairs and provided my own means of support. I had never encountered ANY difficulties in attaining a job or keeping one... I have always been able to walk into a prospective employer and leave with a new job. That is because I "believed" that I was the best person for the job and sold myslf accordingly, the same can be said of the promotions I received as well...I didn't wait for hthem, I went after them because I "believed" I deserved them.
The same can be said of my pursuits in art and writing...when I believed stongly in myself and my talents I was extremely productive and very successful.
The question is...where did that all go? When did the belief in myself blur and become a need for belief from others? I could blame my illness and have for the most part but what does the illness have to do with my own self-belief? It does limit me but it by know means STOPS me.
Now I am mad at myself for being so DENSE
Thank you Kitti for posting this...I do BELIEVE I needed it.

2) hubby called on his way home from work and asked if i had the grocery list together, i told him yes, he said he was so worn out he didn't know if he would make it there. well i told him he really didn't have to go tonight because we were still pretty stocked up - he came home looked at the list and said, nah, i will go ahead and go. i said to him, do you want me to go with you? he said nah - and then went to use the restroom. when he came out, he told my daughter and me to get our coats that we were going with him! LOL
3) have i menitoned lately how much my daughter is my LIFE??? she has the most gorgeous smile ever of all time
Yes I know you love your D! I look at my grandson and feel how lucky I am to have him in my life. I'd die for him and that is no lie! He means the world to me, and I think the Lord sent him to me to help me through all of this. He can always make me laugh and bring a smile to my face! He makes my life worth living! OH YEA....
LMOA! Well, hon I've been watching movies too! Watched "Entrapment" with Sean Connery! Yummy! And also watched "How to lose a guy in 10 days" Now it shows you what to do or not to do! And all I could think of was the DB method~no clingy, whinning or pursuing, made me laugh!
