Do blogs go potty in the jungle?

I don't mean to neglect you it's just ... life is testing me. My busy level is oft times untenable.

But anyway, I weighed in yesterday and the bad news is that I had only lost half a pound since last month. But the good news is that I went to Vegas and drank a lot and have not been diligent about my calorie counting and I lost half a pound!! Right? Accentuate the positive as Baloo would say in The Jungle Book.

Look, I do not suggest keeping your head in the sand like an ostrich although I don't even know if ostriches actually do that, but I suggest that when you are noticing the bad stuff and beating yourself up and feeling like a failure and worthless and all that, take a sec, take a breath and ALSO take a long look at the good stuff. Cuz, listen, don't you find when you are looking at your failures that you feel like you just want to put on your comfy jammies, go to bed and cover up and sleep and dream happy dreams? You don't feel inspired to get up and get out and go accomplish something. Right? Or some feelings similar. So focusing solely on the things you are NOT and the things you CANnot and the things you HAVE not done or feel you will never do ... how is that helping? Right? So don't ignore the stuff that needs to be changed or worked on, but give yourself your due. If you don't take the time to realize everything that makes you unique, you're NEVER gonna be able to change the things that are making you feel sleepy.

Accentuate the positive. And don't forget to do something for yourself. Preferably something fun. If you are always doin' stuff for others ... that's too long a conversation for this posting. I'll go on and on and on about that next time. Can you wait?
