I have an affirmations section on this blog. I need to write more of them. Here is one from Kim:
I will continue to manage this illness to the best of my ability. I will learn more with each passing day about BiPolar Disorder. I will treat myself with kindness. I will always thank God for what I have.
**
That’s fabulous. It’s hard to be nice to yourself when you have a not so nice illness. These days, my affirmations are focusing on money and that there is an abundance of resources in the world. Plenty of people have plenty of money. Some have lost jobs in the past few months, but many are still doing very well. I just listened to a podcast that said, “There is no recession- there is only opportunity.”
Sure, affirmations can seem a bit hokey, but they are simply the opposite of our negative thoughts. We all know that negative thoughts hurt us and ruin our days- so it makes sense that the positive thoughts will boost us and improve our days.

I’m thinking about money a lot these days. Or, I should say I’m worrying a lot about money these days! It’s always been easy for many of us to remain separate from governement mistakes- I could go on forever about this.
I’m writing to remind myself and the thousands who read this blog that things can and will get better. We have been through crises before .. what matters is that we stay stable. I’ve had letters from people who are concerned about their disability and how expensive things are. I have friends who have lost a lot of money in the stock market!
I can’t do anything about this. What I can do is take care of myself. I have to support myself as you probably do as well. I’m not going to sit back and watch my money dwindle. I’m going to work as much as I can on new projects and tough this out!
I have a friend who manages a car dealership- one that sells a lot of SUV’s! Wow, that is a tough job right now.
It’s tough for eveyone, but hang in there. I’m thinking of you! Treat bipolar disorder first is my motto. Plenty of sleep. Beward of manic spending, stay close to the people who support you and watch out for that caffeine! Just a few suggestions.

Have you noticed that I’ve been writing massive blogs lately! I want to help people learn from my experiences so they don’t have to repeat them.
So here is a really short blog- because the one before this is excellent, but it’s long!
Some things to say to yourself before the holiday weekend:
1. I’m happy to be well enough to see friends and family with pleasure.
2. It’s summer and I appreciate the sunshine.
3. I live in Oregon and I accept the rotten weather we will have this weekend. It’s true unfortunately!
4. I can and will have an enjoyable weekend whether I am depressed, just out of the hospital or just plain scared about my life.
5. I am going to stop this blog now or it will be too long as well!

I remember watching am Oprah Winfrey show with Martha Stewart as the guest. When they both walked in the crowd stood up and cheered. Really loudly! When this happens to a lot of people they will hold out their arms and say, “Thank you, but that’s enough. You can sit down now” Oprah did something very, very different. She really looked at the crowd. She looked at Martha and she said, “We accept your applause.” I really learned something when Oprah said that. It told me that not only did she know her own place in the world, she also understood that people wanted to cheer her on and that they admired what she and Martha Stewart have done as people. I want to learn from that. When people tell me that they get a lot from my work or that my books have saved their relationships, I want to really feel it and say, I appreciate your applause. It’s respectful and helps me feel that I do have a purpose.
