I'm swooning! I'm so excited you found my blog! I read your essay this past weekend and have read it over and over again. You so eloquently put into words what I so often feel in my heart. I have spent so much of my life in pediatric oncology units. I never talk about my time there, because I don't know where to begin. I've seen such incredible sadness that will stay with me for the rest of my life, but what I could never begin to grasp was how the parents remained so strong through it all. I think I was able to remain strong through them. Your essay is poignant and strongly captures the power of moments. I could go on and on. Thank you so much for sharing your essay and story with the world :). Now back to swooning for me!! You’re swooning! I’m swooning! I’m so excited you found my blog!

I think "Positivity" should definitely become a regular installment! I love how the idea is taking off on twitter :). We need more positivity in our days! #3 is so true for me as well. I catch myself so many times. I think we are all much harder on ourselves than we mean to be. But it's hard when you're really focused to see that. Ben does the same thing with me as well! He told me I had to write this post since my life has become so hectic recently and I am constantly transitioning and trying to find balance. Thank you, Michelle!

I love your blog -- just visited for the first time! I am also very visual -- love mind maps, but have never created a comparison table. How do you use that? I'm glad you liked the post! Best wishes, Carolyn Hi Jeremie,

Thank you for your comment! I love your blog — just visited for the first time! I am also very visual — love mind maps, but have never created a comparison table. How do you use that?

I’m glad you liked the post!

Best wishes,
Carolyn

I am a very visual person so writing things down is a big one for me. I don't journal I use comparison table, cause/effect charts, and mind maps, but it is the same idea. I also find it very important to keep track of my positivity each day so I can work on self correcting when I start to get negative. I am looking for positivity week links so thank you for giving me an article to add to my list. Great post. I am a very visual person so writing things down is a big one for me.

Glad to see that blogging is a good down-time / transition / me-time activity for you, because you write some of the most detailed, thoughtful, well-researched posts around! Thanks so much for including me & Positivity Week in this post. And even though Positivity does not have alliteration with any day of the week, maybe I'll find a way to make it a regular installment :) I love this whole post, but instance 3 resonated with me because I often feel like I'm being harder on myself than I am on/with others. Luke said to me just this past weekend, "I read what you write on your blog, and you're not taking your own advice." Ouch! While it stung for a second, I couldn't be upset because I knew he was right. If I stop being so tough on myself - and allow myself to follow methods 1-9 - then I know my brain will quiet down and I won't make myself so stressed/crazy half the time! You are amazing, Carolyn.
