I do a gratitude prayer every morning to start out my morning. I take my time in the morning. When I worked, I would get up early and clean a room before going to work. I take it slower. If the weather is decent, I sit out on the patio and watch the birds and squirrels which grounds me. One of the things I am working on is not to expect so much from myself. I give myself time for something I enjoy every day.

I've had 2 strokes I have seizures ehlers danlos syndrome. A tumour in my head that is inoperable
Being envious of that is not very intelligent now is it.
I worked extremely hard to get where I am today. Oh I also have Fibromyalgia. I do work hard everyday because I don't take life too seriously and I'd rather be happy than the opposite. That's the second time in 2 days someone has said they are envious of me. I don't like envy or jealousy its an ugly emotion. I also know I'm lucky. Another thing people keep telling me I am.
I am the way I am because I work hard at doing stuff I want to do and I will not let any health problems get me down ever. I could complain everyday but I choose not to. I choose happiness I chose positivity laughter and fun.
I've actually never thought about it. I've looked at the picture and I definitely do drain my battery more than charge it. But I think I may start looking at some ideas on how to recharge my internal battery and see how I go on. Xx
