Clawing my way to health

[mythteller]

I'm finally back on the road to recovery. My head not longer feels like it's filled with cement, but the hacking cough still persists. The good old common cold is still consistent even though our weather continues to surprise us.

I'm happy to report that 2007 is starting out strong, although that's probably my revved up optimism talking. I've been meeting with a few people interested in the biographies, and although there haven't been any definite contracts signed, it's chugging along.

And in case you didn't know, keeping a healthy optimism alive requires work. It's too easy to give into despair, too easy to be consumed by worry and the horrible reality around us. Giving in will stop us in our tracks; having faith allows us to move forward. It's really not easy to maintain this type of attitude and still stay rooted in some kind of reality, but it's usually worth the effort.

When I figure out how to perfectly maintain that balance, I'll let you know.

On the positive side, I've found that noticing more all the good things and opportunities seems to make worry and depair less noticeable, or smaller in comparison. Over time, it shifts the personal frame of reference. Sort of like... oh... changing consiousness at will.
