ugh...

My ankle is swollen, bruised, and still in pain. I have a blister on my right heel from wearing that stupid fiberglass splint. My right knee is sore from having to wear the clunky black boot. Some of the fingers on my right hand have been numb for a couple days...most likely from using the crutches. I'm working both days this weekend. And, I'm just plain old tired.

Okay, now that all of that complaining is out of the way, let me tell you about the good parts of my day. I crutched a 1/4 mile (my arms were burning!) with CGN Jenalyn keeping me company, and even challenged Hunter to try and finish his mile before I finished my quarter mile...which he did. :) I improved on my push-ups, sit-ups, plank, and hang-time. Enjoyed a delicious pancake breakfast provided by the Hoskins family and enjoy the company of the DTD team on a relaxed level (one of my favorite things to do). I got to watch a couple girls compete at the Stargazer Meet today who I taught when they were five years old...and sit and chat with their moms for a while. And, I took a nap on the couch with my ankle up on a bunch of pillows.

All-in-all, I think today was a balanced day. I little bit of challenge to overcome with positive thoughts.

State Management is controlling the way you think, feel, behave, and perform. There are two things that control your state of mind; your physiology and your mental interpretations. Change the way you think, and you will change the way you act. (might be a little off, but you get the point) :o)

Hope everyone is working to maintain a positive attitude. We're almost there...
