Thought we could start an ongoing question.

We rock out to music DVD's dancing, or singing or doing exercises (situps,

jumping jacks, weights) to Hillsong - Jesus Is My Superhero - www.christianbook.

com (it is great the kids request it often), also We Cry Out DVD

(jesusculturemusic. com), or also any Wow Worship or Wow Hits DVD's -

www.christianbook. com. Sometimes I hold the girls one at a time and dance with

them. They love this! They just snuggle tight especially when I swing them

around. Hope you post some more ideas.

In good weather, a nice walk in the woods with the kids and the dogs. It

refreshes us all. The end of the path is a nice park with a zip line.

Otherwise, we all crawl into our bed and watch movies. We've hooked up a VCR in

there so we take out old disney movies from the library and cuddle up!

i agree with the walk. i was having a pretty rough week, but today i had a talk

with my homeopath and he was so positive about helping my son that i left the

conversation with alot more hope and a positive outlook. a great conversation

with some positive goes pretty far in my book.

These days, it's usually my kids (who are currently 19 and 21) who recount some

of the things we have accomplished that are supposed to be completely

impossible. That's something I used to do. This past year has been especially

hard on me, psychologically and emotionally, and I am usually not up to

" counting my blessings " .

Still, when people ask how I am or how life is going, I find myself telling them

very sincerely that " I'm fine " or " life is good " even though I might be

wallowing in self pity when alone. For many years, I was unable to say things

were " fine " even though I knew it was kind of a rhetorical question and people

didn't REALLY want to know how I was doing. They were just making chit chat and

I was supposed to say " Fine " . I just couldn't. Now, I do say " Fine " even

though I am not sure where that answer comes from because life is pretty

stressful. Still, it's far better than it used to be and it's far better than

it would be if we hadn't worked on getting well. I consider my spontaneous

replies to people I barely know to be kind of like a " Freudian slip " -- and

insight into my deeper feelings -- and an indication of how much better I feel

about my life in spite of often being really whiny and upset.
