Staying Optimistic

One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn't pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.

I'm currently beyond overwhelmed with everything on my plate. Hurting my back in early July really took it's toll not only on me physically, but also in every other aspect. It has really set me back with everything, as you can tell with the lack of posts. This blog has been collecting dust :( It seems I'll be feeling better and just when I think I'll be able to return to a semi-normal routine, I have a relapse and I'm in horrible pain once again. But when I'm able to deal with the pain I have to focus on clients and of course my children which means this has taken a back seat to everything else. But I thoroughly miss it!

Today I'm trying to play catch up. Well in all honesty, I've been playing this game since we returned from vacation on the 18th. I'm hoping to make a decent dent in that lengthy "to do" list today though. Since I was definitely getting discouraged with my overwhelming list I thought a quote to inspire me would be a good thing and I found the one above. It's helping me keep my head high (and focused) on getting things done.
