Remaining Positive
Hi All,
I guess you have noticed that I haven't been handing you the in-depth topics that I usually try to share. Well, I will get better. Just forgive me right now. This is a very stressful period for me. The holidays are here in which I have no Christmas spirit. Don't blame me it's just how I am feeling. I am looking forward to sharing the day with family and that's all that is important to me. Presents and gifts don't mean anything to me. Once you get a certain age you start to value the real importance of life. Give me family and love any time. Gifts can't support you or give you love right?
I have also started the third book in my latest series. It's hard to write on different stories while finding an agent for another one. I feel disappointed with a lot of things. I am going through so many different emotions. I have been kind of depressed but I'll make due. I also haven't been feeling well lately. I injured my hip and I am going through a lot of pain. I am also still having problems with my wrist. I may have set up that syndrome (I can’t remember the name) that is caused from too much typing. My wrists get sore from time to time and sometimes they do get a little weak. Sometimes I hold my hands up and my fingers are shaking. Don't worry, I am keeping an eye on things. I have been lying down a lot due to the pain from my hip. So that is another reason why I haven't been feeling too great.
I am remaining positive with things all around. I haven't been blogging as much because I haven't had the time to devote to it like I used to. That is the reason why I haven't been able to visit some of my blog buddies' blogs but I am going to get better. You know how things are. You just get busy and things pop up that you don’t plan on.
I love the wintertime but I do think it does something to my mood that I can't control. I wouldn't call it exactly winter blues but…well we all feel this way sometimes. At least I practice what I preach. I tell others to stay positive and in that I will too. There is no good in being negative is there? Also, I know things will work out for me the way I want them to. I just have to be patient. Like mom says, things happen when you least expect it. But if you deserve them, they do happen. So I just wanted to let you know about some things. I am doing fine, except for this pain. I hope all of you are well too.
Happy blogging!
Bootsy
As you can see Blogger is having problems again! My profile and links magically ended up at the bottom of the page. It was nothing I did. It was fine yesterday then when I looked at it, it was like this. I hope Blogger finally gets their act together.

Hello hello girl! Been a long time! I am so sorry about ur disappointments - but loving you for keeping your positive attitude and cherishing Christmas for its *true* purpose and reason. I get the cramps in my wrists 2, esp. after spending 3 hours straight typing. We sound alike w/ the positive attitude - I gotta remind myself to be positive as well since I tend to *vibrate* that energy. Wishing you the best!
Gee hon, sorry about your hip. Man, I know that stuff can hurt. The wrist, maybe you could record and let someone else do the typing for you.
A lot of people feel like this during the season. Going through some of it myself. Just try to remember that negativity never gets you anywhere worth going. And darlin, you've got so many great places to go.
Hugs.
I hope it gets better soon but you have a positive outlook so am sure you'll be fine soon.
Positive Outlooks are good for getting healthy. Sorry you are going through these healthy delimna. Hope you feel better soon. By the way around the holiday season as I am sure you know , so many get the holiday blues..Be special always
Have a wonderful Christmas babe, many hugs to you!
Thanks for stopping by.
I think you are referring to Carpal Tunnel syndrome (from too much typing).
I used to feel the same way you do about the holidays ... I love Thanksgiving and can't stand the commericialism associated with Christmas. I don't know why, but this year I am really looking forward to Christmas. I'm not getting anything special (except what I got myself) but I can't wait to see the looks on my kids' faces when they open their gifts. I don't know ...
Hope you feel better soon. Merry Christmas!
Hope you have a lovely Christmas and I especially hope you start feeling better. Just look at everything as though the glass is half full and you'll see brighter days soon enough.
Just checking in on ya! Happy holidays!
Sashai,
Yes I have been through all of that and MORE. That is why I am at the stage where I have to be positive. I had a miserable childhood and my adult life would have started out that way if I let it. I refused to. It wasn't until I learned that you have to try to deal with your life the best way you know how. I have learned from people I've met that being positive helps and it wasn't until I got the confidence in myself that I learned that. It is a journey many of us have gone through. A lot of people have had these problems of suicide, etc. Kathi, MYSELF and a lot of my other blog visitors have gone through a lot of personal problems but I chose not to spread that part of my life all over the place but since you wonder why I am so positive, this why. And it doesn't mean a person won't have problems but this is how I am dealing with them. If someone wants to continue thinking the bad about everything and can't stop then that's them and I feel sorry for them. I hope your comment was sincere but I got a little feeling that maybe there was a bit of I don't know (conflict) in it. Maybe you didn't mean it that way but that's how it seemed. I am spreading what I know works. It is not about me stepping into someone else's shoes it's about doing my best to help others because I know what I've been through. We can't assume that just because someone is being positive that they haven't had problems. I will bet you that I've had MORE problems than half the people in this world but I am no longer living through my problems. And I would rather be the Angel of Positivity then someone who spreads negativity. What are we all supposed to say, " Don't think about the brightside because it never comes? " Yeah, I used to think that way and that is why I had to change my life. It's all about how YOU think. How the hell can I be happy if I keep drifting into misery and the problems I try so hard to escape from? I've never been so happy and content with myself. Heck I never thought I COULD be happy. I am living my life the way I want to live it, finally. Don't think I am telling others how to live their's. If people want to live in darkness than that is them. Honey I've seen the light and I refuse to go back to where I've been. Thanks for visiting. And no I won't go into anymore details because it's no one's business but I guess you made me share the suicide thing because you brought it up and I wanted to mention it. You can't look at someone else and assume that just because they have a good outlook they always did. Just like you don't want someone walking in your shoes, don't assume someone wants you walking in theirs. I hope this doesn't sound rude but your comment didn't seem like it was really meant to be helpful but to criticize but if I am wrong, I apologize. But see I don't know you so I can't tell what you are trying to be. If you were someone who regularly visited I wouldn't have taken it the wrong way (if I have).If you were Kathi, Groove, Abeni, Rose or anyone else I am used to, I would have known you meant it in a good way. Maybe you didn't mean it in a " bad " way but your words seem sort of...like you're assuming something about me. And you don't know me well enough to do that. And if the wrong words are the ones that you WANT to hear all the time, of course the right ones won't help. I refuse to tell someone to live in pity and mysery. What good is that? If you can't be positive about anything then why is a person even alive? Plus if you stay negative about everything believe me no one in the world will want to be around you because that will bring them down. And who WANTS to be alone and miserable? Not me, sunshine. We are supposed to celebrate life. I finally see that and I hope one day you can or whoever you are referring to will also. And plus this is my blog and I am running it the way I want. So being positive is going to be spread to the hilt in here. People who don't like it, well they don't have to visit. I don't visit other's blogs and criticize. I keep my mouth shut unless I got something important or valuable to say. But that's just how I am. I always say, " Don't like what the cook is cooking, stay out of her kitchen. " Also, how can you ride out the negative WITHOUT being positive? I can't see a way, can you? You have to see the light in order to escape the dark right? That's knowledge. Thanks for visiting. Happy Holidays!
And my regulars...you know I love you all! Thanks for your comments and Happy Holidays!
Stacy:
It is so important to keep a positive attitude no matter what anyone says. I once had a major surgery where all of my co-workers were telling me so much positive stuff about the surgery, (they were close friends, who had the surgery)that I went into it it with such confidence because initially I was afraid. Their words which were so positive were amazingly healing. I went into surgery with such a positive attitude for a major, difficult surgery that was so depressing, that when I came to, I was walking around trying to uplift other patients. The doctors were surprise that a 28 year old patient came through this surgery so great. I explained that, my friends said it was easy, nothing to it, I would heal fast-so in essence they kept it positive. I appreciate them for that...I healed quickly and helped to uplight others. So for the writer who made that statement, I will never ever not try to uplift anyone and not let them know that being positive does change your outlook and how you handle things. Stacy, continue to remain uplifted, continue to write and continue to be successful.
I hope you feel better.
If you use a desktop, you might want to check out one of those ergonomic keyboards. They have a zig zag design.
Your page may be affected by the pic in your current post. You should save the current post as a draft then take a look at your blog and see if the alignment comes goes back to normal
All I can say in regards to "positivity" is that Life's too short and why spend in the dark when there is a beautiful sun shining? :) God loves us all :).
Rose, you are an inspiration to me. You are such a kind person and I love you for just being you. You always lift me up.
Shawn, hey, homie. Actually I changed the pic afterwards. It was already messed up. I kept checking my template to see if it would come back at the top in preview and it was still at the bottom. I'll keep trying. Groove said she's going to try to help me with it. I'm not really worried. Blogger is always messing up some kind of way. About the keyboard, I didn't know that would help. I never thought about that but that might be what I need. I will definitely look into that, thanks.
Elsie, that was beautiful, chica.
Big up, Stacy-D! You're only down but for a short while. We all have funky days, as you can see from a couple of my latest posts... It gets better. Rememeber your last time feeling down?
In the words of Frankie Beverly and Maze... "i wish you happy feelings!"

I'm changing your nickname from Stacy-D to Sunny-D. Preach on with the positive vibes, gurrl.
In my opinion Sashai wasn't trying to imply anything or make any references to your character - it just seemed like she was hurting and was having a problem seeing any hint of good underneath all the bad in life she's had to deal with.
Sometimes people repell against and can't understand in others what they don't see or can't find in themselves. But it's important to remember, we're all different. Some see the glass as half-empty while others see it half-full, and likewise some people just can't be positive no matter how hard they try. It's just in their makeup to not roll that way.
But I'm glad that's not the way you roll. Keep on doing what you're doing. Keep spraying your positive rays around the world, because sometimes you never know who you may encourage.
I try to stay positive but sometimes it's hard. We all have our pity-parties; our D-days; our down days. The trick is to not wallow in them for too long.
Girl, next time I need cheering up, I know who I'm contacting. Loved the 'stay out tha kitchen' comment by the way.
Continue to be encouraged, Sunny! I see nothing but good things ahead for you and here's hoping we meet in 2006. Good blessings.
Wow,girl you weren't kidding when you said you got kind of pissed:)
Michelle, Sunny-D, that's funny. And I am not upset about Sashai or anything but it just seemed that she was implying something about me, (like I hadn't had serious problems), and I have gone through that. It seemed like she was questioning me and I wanted to let her and everyone else know that I know how dark the world can get, believe me I do. I just don't like people assuming things about me because I don't do that to others. Unless you know someone personally, don't assume they haven't suffered like you have. It was the way she worded what she said. Like I said, maybe I took it the wrong way but it's hard not to when you get questions thrown at you like that. I felt I was being picked out as not knowing that there are problems and I had to show that I had experienced some of my own. And of course we all go through the bad times but I find that being positive (as much as possible) helps. It may be hard but it's worth it. And I feel sorry for some people who can't ever feel positive about anything. That thinking alone does effect our lives. Sometimes we have to make things go a certain way no matter where we came from.
Abeni, yeah at first I was a little pissed. I felt I was put on the hot seat for being positive and spreading praise. I wondered how anyone could see the problem in being positive. I am just glad I am at the stage in my own life where things are better for me. Those who can make a change to see that things can be better will see that life throws you just as many rewards as it does disappointments.
