Day 2

 

I really like the information provide in day 2.  This reminds me of the information provided at a complaintfreeworld.org, which also pairs nicely with the element, "Choose your attitude" from the FISH! Philosophy. This compliments what I have already been working on, prior to starting the Tools.  

 

I have been working on changing my attitude about things for some time now.  I used to be a very negative person.  I felt very sorry for myself and was very angry at the world. 

 

Then in 1998, something both awful and wonderful happened. My mom was diagnosed with cancer and passed away shortly afterward. I dropped out of college and took care of her until she passed.  It was then my transformation began. 

 

I began to slowly change my attitude about things because I saw what real sadness and pain were.  Things really weren't so bad for me.  The world didn't seem so awful anymore.  In fact, I found a lot of good in others when I shared my experience with Cancer through my mom.

 

Slowly, I began to turn my life around and make positive changes.  I'm happy to be here with tools--I'm hoping this will be the final push I need to really achieve my goals.
