Today was good! My Mother had a early morning hair/perm appointment so I went to the gym by myself. It was 22 degrees here and I had to push myself to get out of my warm bed and go to the gym but I made it! I always feel better after exercising and that’s what I tell myself when I want to make a excuse and not go. I went to the store afterwards and bought lunch for us, baked chicken, tossed green salad, and asparagus. My Mother was very grateful and appreciative. We baked cookies for about 3 hours. We are taking a break tomorrow and resuming our cookie baking on Wednesday. I only taste tested 1 cookie today. I thought about my Mother and her negative attitude last night. I have made up my mind to try and seize the good moments with her. I am going to try to overlook the small things and I will walk away when it is too much. That’s how I need to deal with her. Life is too short! One day she will be gone and I want to have good memories to remember. She did tell me today that I was a good Daughter and that she appreciated all the things that I do for her. That made me feel good.
