Check Up

Yesterday I had to close my shop early so I could go out of town for my physical.  I had not seen my doctor since she made the comment:  This is your one time on Earth, you need to find something that makes you happy.  Huge statement.  I think she has said it a few times.  I told her about how her statement set all of this in motion.  Her statement is the reason I finally made the decision to take a chance and open the sweet shop.  She was so excited about my adventure.  She had goose bumps when I told her the story.  She could not wait to tell the nurses about it.  She loved the name.  She is going to try to come visit the shop very soon.
There is a lesson to be learned here.  Words are so powerful.  Being supportive when someone needs help can move mountains.  We need to remember to use our words wisely.  So much easier to use our energy to be positive.  I try to have positive exchanges with all the people that come in my shop.  I want kids to come in my shop knowing they are welcome. 
I was drowning in negativity for a long time.  It was a hard pit to drag myself out of.  Years ago I read the book, Simple Abundance.  It is based on how being positive can turn lives around.  Keep a Gratitude Journal.  Write three things a day that you are grateful to have.  That makes people spend their day looking for good things.  I need to read the book again.  Great way to live life.
I am so grateful for my doctor.  She has helped me through some tough things.  She always takes the time to talk books with me.  Ask me what I am reading.  Makes suggestions on what she thinks I should read.  Hugs me when she thinks I need a hug.  That is why I will continue to travel out of town to see her.  She is an amazing person and doctor!
Be brave.  Jump off the diving board.  Ride the roller coaster.  Do the things you are most afraid of doing.  Live life.
