It is my choice.

My whole life so far has been one huge battle after the other, leaving me with tons of negative emotions. Maybe things will change for the better, and maybe they won't. But one things is certain: I am doing the best I can, with what I have, right here where I am!
 
My negative emotions have controlled me long enough, from now on I choose how I want to feel. Yes, I am sad and depressed, but I am not a quitter! I am still coping day by day. Therefore I choose to feel good about myself, because I am the best ME that I can be!!

Good for you, stay strong. I came to simular thought last week. I want to control my anxiety, not have it control me. It has helped some. Your right, we have to take and deal with what the Lord gave us, and we are suppose to do with a glad heart. Thats the hard part. Bless you.

One hour at a time/one day at a time is all we can do as we struggle as a caregiver. We can accept or not accept a woe is me attitude, and regardless move on. However, it is so much easier to get through the day with a somewhat positive attitude from the start. I know it\'s a struggle for you, but I also know your strength to overcome the negative and to look at the positive. Though it often times seems otherwise, the good Lord is watching over you and knows of your struggles. Hugs, Dan
