I expected to be ok!

I agree that mental attitude is as important as lifestyle factors. My hubby and I had a great talk last night about how differently I/we think and act since bc. I am not sure exactly what it is but I do not dwell on negatives anymore. I think I still have empathy (probably more than before) but I don't judge/assume anymore. If someone does something that effects me negatively I deal with it so differently. I don't try to change their behavior or actions, I just worry about mine. I used to want to fix everything and everyone, now I realize that we are only responsible for our own actions/decisions. I even joke about karma and use this to make situations less stressful. For instance hubby and I were driving on the highway and there was an annoying car, towing a jet ski, going slow in the right hand lane and not getting left when they could have. Hubby was getting hot under the collar but I had him relaxed and laughing with my idea that they were gathering negative karma from their actions. I suggested that when they got where they were going maybe the jet ski would not start and they would wonder why! I just feel so calm and love it! Mind you with my poor memory since chemo maybe I just forget a lot of the things that might have played on my mind before! Glad you are feeling so positive too, Bel. Deanne xx
