Hello ....

Sunday, October 28, 2012

It's been so long since I've logged on to my Spark account.  The truth is, I forgot my password a long time ago and never got around to resetting it.

A quick recap of the last, I don't know, year maybe ...

I have cancer ... It could be worse :)

 I'm very well, except for the above.

My thyroid has disowned me. 

I have a very good job.

I hate my job.

I have a bad attitude.

I'm bitter. 

Nothing will ever change until I do some thing different.  

I feel like a fraud on so many levels - I'm not exactly living the old life but I sure have let a lot of good habits slip.  I'm stressed and angry at the world.  I'm so tired. 

Last week I told my company that I'm just not interested in working for them.   First step ...

Today I'm sitting here on spark, sipping my green juice (which really is amazingly good) and not eating the Halloween candy (cause I'm not attracted to it like I used to be in years gone by).  

Time to refocus ... Back to health and wellness.  

Another new chapter ...  Looking for the title. 

It's all good.  

I just need to accept that sometimes I can be an incredibly slow learner.

It's nice to reconnect.

    Well, Patricia, I can't see the perspective from your eyes. I can only imagine.

I think it might be a good thing for your psyche for ditching the job.

Mostly, I'm thinking how I'm glad you're back on SP. I missed you.

    emoticon You are not a fraud! You are just being honest.
I am living with cancer also, so I know it's not easy. Don't worry about making all the changes all at once, sometimes it's good to start slow!

    It IS crazy cause the in our minds we *know* we need to eat healthy and exercise but add the stress of cancer AND not great work situation and it IS so hard to stay on track and be positive all the time. I have thought about leaving spark too cause I didn't want to bring ppl down here...but spark friends have gotten me through some tough days for sure and I'm here to send a hugs, care and concern your way :)
I'm having a green smoothie this am too emoticon and raising my glass to you my friend!

    Hi Pat
If there is one thing I know about you it's that you're a fighter! You have been so much and are a strong person hun.
Take it a step at a time and you'll soon feel more like you again.

Sending you a huge bear emoticon

    I want to send you all sorts of encouragements but you have been though this long enough to know how powerful your mind is and how much your mind controls your body. So take some baby steps again. Tiny ones. It's hard to do when you know how well you did before and how much you want that balance over night. Just look forward and think you need to relearn it all a little bit at a time.

    You have been through hell and back. I understand that you are angry and bitter.
Not having a functionning thyroid must be brutal.
I am glad you came back to Spark. I hope you will keep blogging as it is a good way to let your anger and bitterness have a voice without actually offending the people close to you.
I understand your life is very hard. Cancer has a way of making you reevaluate everything so I am not surprised that you can clearly state that you hate your job though it pays you well.
I hope you will stick around.
Welcome back.
Naomi. emoticon
