I have to say, I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of positive thoughts, encouragement, and suggestions that have been sent my way since my blog post the other night. I truly have amazing friends and family and I couldn't be more grateful. I think getting the news that my blood pressure medication isn't working made me just a tad upset. I mean, you take a pill, you think it will instantly make things better but apparently blood pressure doesn't work that way. Who knew.
I was reminded of several things that really hit home with me. Taking things one day at a time can make all the difference. And it's ok if you screw up. You get back on track the next day and keep moving forward. And that getting mad at myself doesn't make things better. All it does it prolong the negativity. Most of all, I am reminded that I am not alone. While my head tells me I am an island of one, you realize there are five others out there who are in the same boat. Everyone has their struggles.
But struggling doesn't mean you're failing, which is something I need to remember. Tomorrow begins my journey. I'm not going to promise that I won't slip up. I am human after all. But I do promise to do my very best each and every day, even if my best is just getting out the front door in the morning!
