Using My Positivity Portfolio to Overcome a Slump (week 2 assignment)

I;m in a bit of a slump because I'm not feeling well. Also really tired and things like bills and chores have piled up... Had a sinus infection, was on antibiotics, now i have a cough.  Also ate too much sugar last night -- in the yogurt ----- I need to avoid sugar as it brings me down.

A couple of things about my Positivity Portfolio brought me back up.

1.  Family Archives:  I have a fascinating family history...dad in WWI...i'm thinking about his photo in his "jodhpurs"  leaning against his plane, a Curtiss Jenny.  Hand on his hip like i like to stand...and he's cute.  Just 19, had dropped out of U.Va.  I wrote a poem about that photo.

I'm proud of my dad being in WWI.  Not many people can say that.  He was 20 years older than my mom when i was born.  I'll be 70 in June...so that's how it's possible...

  

2.  My relative Dee, age 94 and still kickin'.   I spoke w her on the phone for an hr. last week.  Love her to pieces.  She is inspiring.

3.  "20 breaths meditation."  Calms me down.

4.  30 min. Loving Kindness Meditation.

5.  Poem i wrote:  General Relativity and this photo to go with it:
