One of the things I’m really enjoying about studying Dr. Weil’s book is the optimistic attitude he encourages. Hope is one of the most amazing things about being human. Even in the most difficult times, the ability to have hope can help pull us through. When health is a chronic issue, maintaining a hopeful and optimistic attitude is so important (and very difficult!) I like focusing on our ability to heal. Since the cold and flu season is upon us, the girls have come home with their runny noses and such. I know that the possibility of a recurrence of MRSA infection is always there. Helping my kids to stay as healthy as possible and keeping a positive attitude seems to be the best thing I can do for them.
