I haven’t participated in the writers workshop for a few weeks and I thought that I would participate this week. I chose to write on 5.) “Keep your face to the sunshine and you can not see the shadow” – Helen Keller. In what ways are you able to stay positive about something that sometimes brings you down? I have a few things that bring me down. The MS and thinking about my daughter that I placed for adoption. I have several things that I do to stay positive about both of them. When I sad about the adoption I think about how happy they are to have gotten her and how happy she is. I also take time to look at the latest pictures of her and see how she is smiling and happy with her family.
Now the MS is a whole another issue. I try not to think about it a lot because it scares me and brings me down. When I do happen to think about it I always remember that right now I am stable. I also try and focus on the fact that no one knows the course the disease will take in me. I could never get more disabled than I am right now. For the most part I just try not to think about the problems in my life. I try and focus on the good!!!!!!
I think it is wonderful that your daughter's adoptive family sends you pictures and stuff to keep you up to date. I am sure she is absolutely beautiful.
I love that you find ways to stay positive. I am going to do my workshop post on this same prompt, it's something I think we could all learn from.
