Try Dressing Up---It Might Be Fun

Off to the cardiologist. Hopefully he can help me better understand my tiredness. I am soooo content to read and sleep, see clients, read, and sleep. January and February are the months for that. Bears have the right idea. I have said that before. Hibernate for 3 months. What joy! But the world keeps calling me out. The world of cancer expects a lot of appointments. Clo can't drive, so although I was not driving much in the city a few months ago, I drive now and don't mind a bit. It helps me feel I have knowledge of my city and I am in charge of my life. So to speak. Cancer suggests I am not in charge at all!

The terrifically good news we received that tells us chemo and herceptin are working and Clo's cancer has shrunk has put smiles in our eyes and a lilt to our step. Clo celebrated by buying a gorgeous huge orchid for the bathroom. Looks very stately and unique. Quite like Clo. She is stately and unique. With her bald head and her lovely new clothes to enhance her ever changing body, she looks great and feels good about herself.

That is something we all need for ourselves and to hear from our partner. That we look great. And to feel good about ourselves. It is important to be intentional and mindful about admiring what you like and what you love in your partner. Even to be redundant. Never can we hear too frequently that we are dressed well or our hair is especially nice today or we are exuding lovely positive energy and well being. Being intentional about taking good care of ourselves gives everybody around us a lift as well as brings up our own spirits. Clo has been intentional about buying attractive well fitting clothes that flatter her and help her feel good. When she feels good she looks terrific. Fancy head gear, lovely jewelry, nice tunics, sleek pants and tights. Good feeling clothes for a good feeling day.

Take extra special care about how you look for the next 3 weeks. Check to see how that feels at the end of the 3 weeks. I bet you will realize a more positive sense of well being and be able to smile more even during challenging times. Try it. It might work.

Hugs, Nancy
