Today I am hang out at home while a carpenter replaces my french doors that have been sitting on my deck since December. I’m planning a small vegetable garden under the kitchen window and reading a fabulous book, Teach Like a Champion.
What makes today special though is that it marks the 30th of day of my 90 Day No Negativity Challenge. I must say, I like my life a whole lot more when I don’t have someone telling me what’s wrong with me, what’s wrong with them or what’s wrong with someone we know. Life is easier and more joyful.
I still have problems and concerns and worries but I’m doing what I can about them and living in the moment. I’m excited about my life the possibilities it offers.
What is the purpose of life? To live it.

i use a combo of shea butter and aloe vera moisturizer. Works great. I use shea butter on my lips, around my eyes and nose (dry areas), My father swears by vasoline.
p.s. I dropped your name on Gina's post, Barb. ;)
I spent some time last night going back to your Day 1 and reading day by day.
This is a very strenuous spiritual workout your getting and a very important one. We in AA call this making a strenuous and consistent effort (in working our steps).
I also hope this turns into a book for you, a very important book. I admire you for “doing the work” and the dividends will pay off for years and years in every area of your life.
I most admire that this is not an effort to think positive, but to objectively observe the negativity without being caught up in the story of it.
And I admired a piece a way back where you mention the desolate grey landscape were the negativity resided and how nature abhors a vacuum. I occassionally glimpse those desolate grey places in my landscape and you writing about it identified it for me to observe.
NanaCatharine, THANK YOU! Thank you for the support, for ‘getting it’, especially about this not being about an effort to think positive. This started out just giving myself a break from a couple of negative friends. It has turned into a journey of the soul and I am profoundly grateful. I like what’s happening. It is very strenuous. I told my FB friends that I was doing some serious spiritual weight lifting and could use some support. Thank you for noticing.
