Do you or someone you know live with pain or an illness? Then you will want to visit http://invisibleillnessweek.com/. September 14-20 is Invisible Illness Awareness Week. The website has a list of web seminars which you can listen live or the taped version. Many topics full of helpful information!
If you know of someone living with an illness, please let them know of this great resource. There is information about insurance, relationships, applying for disability, and many other topics. Often people living with an illness or pain, think they are all alone. Invisible Illness Awareness Week lets them know that they are not alone and that there are many resources available!
Create a positive day by sharing information which may encourage someone else. It's free and takes just a few minutes to share the information!

What do I value?
What do I value? What is important to me? What matters? If something is important to me, then I make it a priority. If it's a priority, I do what's necessary to make it possible. If something is NOT really important to me than I don't spend energy, time or money on it. This is true for things and relationships.
If I value someone and consider them a friend, I'm willing to make them a priority. I will turn off the TV when he/she calls so I can listen and hear what he/she is saying. I schedule time on the calendar to get together with him/her. Some relationships I value more, so I spend more effort and time to develop that relationship. Some relationships aren't really as important to me, so I spend less time with him or her.
I have 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. How I use those hours is a window of what's important to me. Do I take a few minutes to send a note to a friend? Do I spend a few minutes to call someone to say 'hi"? Or do I spend that time watching the TV or surfing the web for strange and unimportant sites?
Often I hear, "I don't have time." We all have the same amount of time. We each make daily choices on how we spend that time. Even at work, choices are made as to which project or person will get how much time and attention. The more time we allot to a particular project, the more attention we spend on it.
I want to strive to spend each hour of each day wisely. Just as I want to make wise choices with my money, I want to make wise choices with my time and energy. Making wise investments now, will enrich my life for years to come.
Creating a positive day for myself, is often done by creating a positive day for someone else. Maybe it's sending a card to calling to say "hi, I care". Creating a positive day is a wise investment!
