You have to go with the flow and learn what you can from each experience. Sometimes growing hurts but sometimes it can be wonderful. Resiliency is an amazing thing! Some people can go through the most horrific things but become the greatest people and others in the same situation get beaten down. I think that attitude is everything! You can't give up and let life beat you. You have to stand up and fight! You're a better person for it.jillytacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15621855217136876048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2263927894612229534.post-77459308193218748432008-04-24T18:55:00.000-07:002008-04-24T18:55:00.000-07:00As I've said before, Pattie, you've got the skelet...As I've said before, Pattie, you've got the skeleton of a very good book going here.

I thank you for your post though and I will remember that the only person who can make me miserable is me. If I choose to be positive and happy then I will be.

I have a very good friend going through the exact same thing (they've been married 12 years I think), and it's such a complicated, difficult situation. I'm glad to hear that you guys ended up friends, ultimately. <BR/><BR/>Your attitude truly is amazing, and your words of wisdom are appreciated. I wonder if you realize what an inspiration you are.

At the beginning of the year I started a gratitude journal. It really does help to focus on the blessings in my life. Thanks for the great advice and even though I know it will be a daily struggle at the end of the day I can look back and say I tried to be different.

You must be a pleasure to know in person. I look forward to reading your posts along with the many other posts of fellow bloggers. I have been working on my positive attitude since I lost my father almost 3 years ago. Even when my heat duct fell to the floor, I cried for a moment because I realized I didn't have my dad to call. Then I smiled because I realized I had great neighbors to call. I just turn things around and look at the positive. I'm completely happy with my life, and I know that I am the one who has control over it. Every once in a while I get caught up in the gasp over gas prices, but I'm doing something about it on my end. Attitude does change everyting!RunningNanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811124795724255539noreply@blogger.com
