Trying To Be Positive

I so badly want to wallow in self-pity. I want to focus on all the things that are wrong with me. I just want to be negative today. Ok, with that said, here are a few positive things I could come up with:

• My doctor said its much nicer to shake my hand now, a good sign of progress he says, as my hands are no longer cold, clammy, and sweaty.
• I’m walking 6,000+ steps a day now, without any added attention to upping my step count (running on the treadmill, going for walks, etc.). This means that I’m walking 6,000 steps in my normal day to day activities. When I first started tracking my steps I would walk between 1200-2000 steps a day, this must mean I am becoming more active and engaged in life.
• Yesterday, my wife informed me that several of her family members would be coming over to the house, rather than getting overly anxious, I took the kids to pick up some pizzas for dinner. On the way home the kids insisted they needed a drink from the convenience store, rather than making up an excuse on why we needed to hurry back home I let them wander the store and pick out drinks of their choice.
• My mind is clearer today than it was in January.
• I am having strings or good days and bad days.
• I am surrounded by loving family and friends.
• I have hope.
