You are what you think

Returning to this old saying "You are what you think..."

It's peculiar how our thinking determines how we feel.

This past week, after internally reacting to how someone close to me felt and looked, I got myself so off balance! My stomach refused to relax, causing pain and inability to eat much.

Naturally, I lost some weight and looked, let's just say, quite unattractive :) :) :) Looking at myself in the mirror brought me so down, for a while - I had thoughts of dying :) , remembering my father leaving this world...

All this just because I focused on my vanity instead of getting better! Silly me!

Yet, it takes me like nothing to feel better - hearing a joke, or talking to a friend - and like a switch - I'm OK!

Are you as silly as I am?

:)

It's amazing how my mind can be strong (I even use it to open tight jar lids :) ) and yet, so futile at times...

Here is something else very important I wanted to share.

When I was growing up, if a doctor felt that a person was going to dye, he only shared it with the family, not the very sick person.

I like to keep my hopes up until it's over.
