The Positive Thread

[monster]

Pick something that's been kinda shitty for you today and be positive about it.

Today I have eczema all over my face, hands, knees, elbows, thighs, behind the ears....anywhere with delicate skin...... and all the places you shouldn't use steroid cream.

1) It was cooler today and it wasn't as bad as yesterday
2) I generally see myself as plain at best. Today I look at least 10 years older and way, way uglier, but no-one in the park did a double-take or offered to help me sit down/cross the street, so I figure I can't be all that bad at norm (my eyelids this morning were so swollen they were impairing my vision)
3) it helped me justify a badly needed "lazy" day
4) I learned it's more seasonal that I had previously realised, and -apart from the face and hands- appears in the heat-rash prone areas. I'm sure this can help me do more to prevent it and treat it in future.
