I am desperately trying to see the positive side of my husband's health regressing one month in a single day.
I am desperately trying to see the positive of all of his skin completely burning off this morning within two hours.
I am desperately trying to stay positive for him.
I am desperately trying to stay positive for me.
So I will desperately try to focus on the good things in life:
- I have two loving pups (ok, full grown dogs at 7-8 pounds if you call that full grown) who comfort my husband in his worst times.
- I have friends who love me.
- I have a job that provides income.
- I got to talk to Shana today, who is about the most positive person I've ever met.
- I will get to talk to Terri this weekend, who always makes me laugh, even through tears.
- I was able to read and provide thoughtful comments on a few blogs today as I have totally released any guilt associated with blogging and all of its ancillary duties.
- I have hope (And as my best friend says, where there's hope there's happiness).
- I have a brand new, unopened box of wine from Trader Joe's.
- I have amazing caretaking skills.
- I have next weekend to look forward to, when I meet up with Ally and Stasha in Seattle.
Thanks for sticking around, my friends. See you tomorrow for Fadra's Stream of Consciousness Sunday.

First of all, BIG HUG my friend. Sorry I missed you this morning. I went to work to make up some hours from when I was sick on Thursday. I'll be home tonight and tomorrow evening though. And? I am so happy you're gonna meet up with Stasha and Ally. I am jealous, too. But happy. I hope to meet you all some day. We should invent our own Bloggy conference in the wine country or something. LOL
Hang in there, my friend. You are loved.
Looking for the positive in an extremely difficult situation can be unbelievably hard. But you did it well. Those are great things to focus on. Can't wait to see you again next weekend, and Stasha, too.
Everyone has hard days that you backtrack a little. Just stick with it and keep trying to be positive. I know it's hard in your position, but you are at least trying.
Huge hugs Rachel. I'm so sorry you're so miserable, but I'm also glad you have hope. That sentence sounds so lame. But I hope you get what I mean.
You are very brave, Rachel. And loved. Hugs. I am happy you're getting to meet Ally and Stasha
All I can say is "I know, I know how hard it is to stay positive". Hang in there my dear friend and you know how to reach me if you need to.
