Hey everyone! As we all know, most days we hurt so bad that we can't think of anything good. I started this thread so we can have at least one positive a day in our lives. When someone posts, we congratulate them and make them feel better. I've found positivity is much better for us than dwelling on the pain and aggravation we deal with. :wink: Even if the only positive thing we have is "I got out of bed today." Post something.

My good for today is I actually woke up before 8 this morning. Because of my pain, I've been in bed till 9 or 10. It's not much but it's a beginning.

Next person, go!:bigsmile:

    I made it to my allergy doctor's office to get my allergy shots! So many times, I just can't do it because I don't feel well, so this is good.

    My something good wasn't from today but on Saturday where I did laps and treading water in the pool for 30 minutes! A weather shift came in since, and I've been battling the pain and blues for a few days now.

    That's very good. Working out in water is very helpful..

    Today I did my first dog walk in 2 weeks. of course, I had to make it hard - 4 dogs each going their own way.:bigsmile:
