I usually have good suggestions for those who are having a hard time with depression, stress or anxiety.  my ideas range from seeking professional help to taking a walk outside to patting yourself on the back.   I guess I'm weighing my options right now and am trying to decide what idea would be most helpful to me this time.  I've done all of the "advised" things at one time or another in my life.  Are we supposed to keep doing them forever?

I have hopes that my spirits will improve dramatically when the weather finally does.  This has been one of the longest and dreariest Winters and early Springs that I've ever experienced here in Southwest Missouri.  Sunshine has been scarce and we've had way too much rain and snow. 

When the weather is decent I will need to figure out where to put the perennials I brought here from our old house.  I feel like I don't know where to start, even though this yard is very small compared to what we had.  Have I lost my confidence?  Yes, I think so.  It's easy to do when someone else gripes about your abilities and choices and shows no interest in what you want to do. 

I bought two six packs of happy looking pansies the other day and they are waiting for me on the front porch.  Maybe soon I can get out there to put them in a pot in the sunshine.   Maybe......

It (being the Day) has its own website, which says that its purpose is simply to celebrate the benefits of positive thinking. Not a bad idea.

The first thing to do is to focus on the following Positive Thinking Day affirmation: “I choose to create a great day!”

Based on my understanding of affirmations, for it to have an impact you need to repeat it about 20 times with lots of concentration and emotional energy. Then, full of enthusiasm, skip over to the Day’s website to see how else you can make a positive difference.

On another subject, I’ve discovered a couple of fantastic blogs in the last few days.

Trick-Cycling for Beginners

This is written by Shiny Happy Person, a “dissatisfied and stroppy junior psychiatrist” working in the UK’s National Health System. If blogs were given classified ratings then this one would be Adults Only, but if you don’t mind the colorful language then the dry English wit is wonderful.

{ Evolving Blueprint }

I love the name of this blog. The “Evolving Blueprint” is about the changing foundation of your life, as you adjust and grow towards the person you aspire to be.

If you know the zen habits blog then this is in a similar space (nobody shoot me). It is firmly focused on health and personal development but without the common “life hacks” feel. Topics include motivation, living simply, goal setting, relationships, and maintaining core values.
