We are doing pretty well this week in spite of the tremendous amount of stress going on. in our lives - 2 sick kids - one possible whooping cough, one on steroids after getting chemo in the spinal tap and in his port (which means he's spunky and hurting all at the same time - go figure!). I haven't lost it yet -- only by God's grace I know

I noticed people asking for mental scripts in Wednesdays post -- at least this is how I understood this - that people wanted thing to say in their heads to calm themselves. I say to myself a lot "It is what it is and I can't do anything to change it. " I think I just changed the words from the book but don't remember where I got that. I also say to myself "my anger is only going to make this worse" while I am taking LOTS of deep breaths. I personally think each person will have to figure out what to say to themselves through trial and error. I also think deep breaths is important.

Hope and pray everyone does well today and that this challenge changes our lives
