Gratitudeness and Random Reflections...
My brain is the enemy. How's that for thinking positively? :)
Anxiety has been really bad again, so I'm thinking it's time for gratitude again. Also Brent Hawkes sermon this week was about not living in lack. I wish I had been paying better attention. My baby niece was at church for the first time, and she needed some attention to keep her from screaming during the sermon. So instead of really listening I was bouncing a tiny blue elephant in front of her eyes. :) So five things I am grateful for today are:
1)Spring. Makes everything better.
2)Friends. Meeting them for drinks on a patio in an hour or so. First patio of the season? Definitely gratitude worthy.
3)Babies. My niece is amazing, she's opened up my world in ways I didn't exepct. She's simply the most important thing going on in life.
4)My dog. She's awesome.
5)My health. According to my doctor I am basically healthy and I need to focus on that and not the lack.
That was alamingly easy. :)
On a sad note, I read on my list of anxiety symptoms the other day that frequent deja-vu is apparently a symptom of anxiety. I don't know if that's a brain chemical thing or what. But kind of sad. I'd also read a few years ago the opinion that frequently experiencing deja-vu meant that you're on the right track..I think I like that theory better than a chemical inbalance.
