I've been ...Great story and "lesson". I've been thinking about how I sort of create my own reality and so much of it is based on attitude. Do I expect good or do I expect bad? Interesting thoughts to ponder, thank you.stephanieleahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427676919832135865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-58050677377718814502011-07-26T16:26:47.206-04:002011-07-26T16:26:47.206-04:00I love your happy thoughts at the end of your post...I love your happy thoughts at the end of your posts. Thinking positively absolutely makes a huge difference! Sometimes I do get frustrated and negative when something is really 'working on my nerves (lol)', but I do agree that how we react to things and choose to live really has a lot to do with our quality of life.<br /><br />For me, I have learned to do what I can- the best that I can, and then let it go and trust God to be faithful, as he always has.<br /><br />I hope you have a nice evening as well! Today has been a good day for sure for me! :)Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341014661826149933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-71002562057111318432011-07-25T22:28:26.704-04:002011-07-25T22:28:26.704-04:00Jackie,

However I also think there are many people who don't and have no idea that our attitudes are partly habit and can be changed if they work at it. Women seem to be have more problems with emotional eating than men do I find. <br /><br />I agree with you about exercising making a big difference. When I am exercising everyday it is much more difficult for me to justify making less than optimal decisions which tend to partly undo my good habits. At least that is what it feels like in my head. ;-)<br /><br />I hope you had a nice dinner out tonight with your friends. <br /><br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-36119648687056919882011-07-25T22:19:17.773-04:002011-07-25T22:19:17.773-04:00Ali, My husband (Ryan) works in mental health and ...Ali, My husband (Ryan) works in mental health and says that many of his clients' issues are exacerbated by the story in their head--however they see themselves in relation to people around them. I've been reflecting on this idea lately. I like how you say that this woman didn't/couldn't "step outside the story in her head". For some people, like Ryan's clients, it is nearly impossible, but for me it is a choice. I've found that getting out and moving (walking, water aerobics, Zumba, whatever) helps me control that story.Jackie Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01314417590749514764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-36037202566080583942011-07-25T21:07:10.712-04:002011-07-25T21:07:10.712-04:00Meg,

You are right being negative is as much a habit as being positive and we all have the power to change. I used to medicate with food and red wine myself so I completely understand. Trust me if I can change anyone can. ;-)<br /><br />We did not find out what was wrong with Masi. Apparently cats vomit more than dogs and since we don't think he has IBD this may have been nothing serious, just an upset stomach. The odd looking kidney that turned up with the diagnostic radiology was probaably unrelated.<br /><br />Thanks, I am sure Luca will be fine. I only wish she were a little more svelte. I worry about her and anesthesia because of the extra weight. Not that anyone has figured out how to put a cat who is part of a multiple cat household on a diet without making her trim brothers too skinny. It is always something isn't it? I will let you know how Luca does tomorrow. I am trying not to worry about her but it isn't easy.<br /><br />have a great evening,<br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-71485353103962160262011-07-25T19:37:54.075-04:002011-07-25T19:37:54.075-04:00I love this post Ali.

Cultivating happiness and making healthy choices are habits, too. Thanks for addressing this issue. <br />Did you ever find out what it was that was bothering Massi? Hope your little butterball comes out fine tomorrow. I'm sure she will. Our kitty is a butterball, too. So sweet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
