Staying Positive

When Matt was here, I was having a hard time keeping focused on all the wonderful new things we are experiencing with Kate.  She was having more rough days, taking extra long to do the exercises, and being grumpier than I had seen her before Matt's visit.  It is easy for me to get pulled into her negative space and as I realized this, I tried even harder to look for the positive.  When we finally realized that we were focusing on what we didn't want, Matt and I made an extra effort to talk about the cool things that happened that day and gloss over the hard moments.  And that is what I am doing with the blog too.  I am intending to pay more attention and write about all of the happy, uplifting things that we are seeing and experiencing.  It is not an attempt to make everyone believe that we are all happy and joyous all of the time, believe me we are not.  This is hard work.  And it is intense at times.  And I will only say that once, because the more that I say it is hard, the harder it will be.  That is my belief anyway.  So I just wanted to explain that.  If we are having a hard time or a hard day, I may write a little about it, but I will concentrate most of my posts on all of these amazing changes we are witnessing.  And they are SO amazing.
