Dear FlyLady,

Thank you for the firm and loving reminders.  What you say is true!  I want to reaffirm this to all my Flybaby friends out there.  This past weekend, for the very first time ever in my life, I did not fall, as Anne of Green Gables would say, “into the depths of despair” when my plans fell apart.  Now, I had intended to do several decluttering projects, but my back had other ideas and kept me bedridden.  Ordinarily, I would have responded with a, “Nothing ever works out for me, so why even try,” response full of self-pity.  Yet, I have been shining my sink for about a week now and have changed my attitude.  Instead, I woke up this morning eagerly looking forward to the new day and trying again with a better back.  Hooray!

Happy and Hopeful,
Kathy
