I had a different post in the making for today, a pretty and gratuitous decor post, but I’m feeling a little too steamrolled at the moment to continue on as planned.  This blog is supposed to be about forward momentum and positivity, solutions rather than problems, but I have to admit that I’ve temporarily lost sight of that.  Instead of ignoring this fact…ignoring that I’m overwhelmed by still-failing health, by an increase in monthly expenses, by trying to scrape by each month while still planning for the future, by the fact that I live in a city and culture where more, more, MORE is what is generally desired…I’m going to acknowledge how I feel, acknowledge that I won’t feel this way forever and acknowledge that I need to focus on my general attitude at the moment because negativity breeds negativity.  And who wants more negativity?!

So today I’m going to share quotes that are helping me get my mind in a better place and that are helping me focus on being grateful for all the things I have to be thankful for in my life. My hope is that they can inspire you as well and that maybe, like me, you’ll feel a little less alone by connecting with others out there.  Any tips and tricks you might have for snapping out of one of these moods would greatly be appreciated!
