Sally! I have a positive attitude? Say it ain't so! Just thinking about it gives me an overwhelming sense of ickiness....

No, really, I'm not brave. Not extraordinary. My attitude stumbles along between positive and negative, fumbling to find the balance. But I am determined on not leaving the farm where I now live. If I have to temper my natural rigidity with a more flexible approach to my lifestyle, I will. If I have to show more grace than is natural to me in asking for and accepting help with the simplest of tasks, I'll do that. If I have to bend the knee to Medicaid to get what I need, I will. It's worth it to me.

A person has to go forward, or get stuck in a downward spiral of depression and frustration. I have plenty of meltdowns from those but I'm not into the living death, so I choose to move forward. At least I do today. I'll let you know about tomorrow.
