Hi everyone...when I first posted my problems, your responses had a lot about changing my outlook and being more positive, which got me thinking that you're right! I taped all these little positive thoughts up on my mirror, and every morning when my symptoms are at their worst I look at them to start the day off on a happy note. I figure that since nothing else works for me, happy=healing! So I'm taking all of your good advice and working on being more postive...remember, you are what you think, and you feel what you want!

I woke up early today, excited over all
I get to do before the clock strikes midnight.
I have responsibilities to fulfill today.
I am important. My job is to choose what kind
of day I am going to have.

Today I can complain because the weather is rainy, OR...
I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.

Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money, OR...
I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan
my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste.

Today I can grumble about my health, OR...
I can rejoice that I am alive.

Today I can lament over all that my parents didn't
give me when I was growing up, OR...
I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.

Today I can cry because roses have thorns, OR...
I can celebrate that thorns have roses.

Today I can mourn my lack of friends, OR...
I can excitedly embark upon a quest
to discover new relationships.

Today I can whine because I have to go to work, OR...
I can shout for joy because I have a job to go to.

Today I can complain because I have to go to school, OR...
Eagerly open my mind and fill it with new tidbits of knowledge.

Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have
to do housework, OR...
I can feel honored because the Lord has
provided shelter for my mind, body, and soul.

Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped.
And here I am, the sculptor who gets to do the shaping.
What today will be like is up to me.

I get to choose what kind of day I will have!

Have a GREAT DAY my friend...OR...
maybe you have other plans.
