Healing the Sickness

After having such a rough night last night I decided to take care of myself today the same way I would want a friend to take care of herself. I called in sick, I made a doctor's appointment and called my friend/therapist. The doctor's appointment was great. Even the scale, or maybe I should say especially the scale. It was down 20 pounds from the last time I was there over a year ago. I have always counted the doctor's office scale as one of my enemies.

The nurse practitioner is very kind. The first thing she said was about my weight loss. She was more excited about it than me. I told her I was taking it slow and she thought that was a good idea. I am being treated for a sinus infection, which I have probably had for a month or so, and I am going to get some blood work. The receptionist told me I had the prettiest hair she'd seen all day. She was so enthusiastic about my hair that I could not help feeling better. I am glad I went. It takes quite a bit of discomfort to get me to the doctor's office. After today I may not wait so long to go back. In fact, I may make it a point to go for some follow up.

I am going to do some work in my book to identify negative thoughts that I want overcome. After last night they are still fresh in my mind. I want to keep moving in a healthy direction, with my mind, my body, my spirit and whatever else makes up a human being.
