Can you say a good mood, Monday with a straight face?

Today is Monday. I tried to be in a good mood all day long. So far, I have succeeded. Please, do not jinx me!

AWWW MONDAYS, I had one thing to try to set my good mood astray. I was cooking BBQ chicken and rice, taking the metal tray out for a bit, I must have cut a hole in the bottom when I was testing its doneness, causing some sauce to leak all over my oven. I was about to lose my vibe, on a good mood, Monday. Luckily, I was talking with my bestie, who walked me through it. I didn't lose my temper. Now, my son is putting the finishing touches on the grill for the chicken. It's a winning situation! 

* I was probably ALL THESE WORDS (in the above meme) AT SOME POINT WHEN MY CHICKEN LEAK HAPPENED 

SATURDAY MORNING THOUGHTS

This morning I was trying to think of my life as a positive event, such as my work life.

My life after graduating high school began with recovering from a TBI, which I am still recovering from at 51. I did find time to go to a technical school to earn an Associate in Applied Science and an Associate in General Education.

I have had several jobs as a childcare provider with family and friends over the years. A candy stripper at the local hospital in high-school. After high-school I moved to Boone N. Carolina and worked a temporary job at Goodwin Weavers and for the Grove Park Inn as a maid. I've worked for a pet store in my local town, a volunteer worker for Human Resorces at RCHospital, cleaner for my church for several years, and now a care giver for my husband.

I want you to understand the power of words. Words could be from those you are around to the words you tell yourself. Those words are powerful.

A person who battles depression and severe anxiety knows that the way to speak to oneself matters a lot. Our words mean life or death to ourself and others. Be mindful of the way you speak.

I wrestle with feelings of waste. Did I waste my life? At times I feel I did. Putting my work experiences down on paper helped me to see a positive side to my life. I needed that.

I feel as if others need that to. The power of our thinking is so strong that sometimes brain fog is welcome. Don't you just need to give the brain a rest at times?

Much Love,

Heidi💜
