The power of positive thinking (C4;CD2)

I want to be more positive. I was thinking back to last cycle and everything that happened, and I know I really hit a low point.

I have always tried to be positive and upbeat about everything whenever I can be. That stems from me believing that there are always people in a situation worse than me, and therefore things can never be as bad as they may seem at the time, it's just a matter of getting through it. For some reason, that thinking didn't cut it for my last cycle, and I don't know why.

So, to make up for it, I want to start afresh this new cycle - think positively about everything, the changes we're making, and all of the day to day dramas both hubby and I face as a matter of doing something proactively.

I need to remind myself that our FS did say that it was not a matter of if I was to be a mummy, but when - but the timing and method is something he couldn't determine. Therefore, our time will come when our future baby decides that we are ready to become parents.

Perhaps that's just it.

Maybe our baby is not ready for us, even though we are ready for them. Maybe it needs time to assess us as parents, to make sure we're up for the challenge... and only then will it allow itself to be conceived.

So maybe the positive thinking is a good step? I need to convince not only me to get back onto my feet and move forward, but our future baby that we are waiting here with open arms and open hearts.

My inspirational quote for today?

Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood

PS.

God help me, I think I've finally turned my husband into a pram snob. Every time we go out now he is always checking out all of the prams that come his way and comments everytime he sees a Bugaboo go by. He even comes home from work and tells me stories about how went somewhere and saw a Bugaboo and how he could immediately tell it from other prams... lordie, imagine what he'll be like when it comes time to buying one! He'll be commenting on his favourite colour combinations next...
