Learning to have compassion for that part of myself helped me notice more quickly when I am headed for a pity party and has me asking myself how I want to so show up, instead! Great post!~Karen C.L.

But, attitude does really make so much difference, whatever our situation, I need to remind myself often to focus on the blessings and not the perceived negatives.
