What do you do when you fall off the horse?

     Lately, I've been slacking on quite a few things. I'm working on improving myself and my lifestyle...most importantly I'm attempting to change an entire way of thinking that has plagued me for years. I tend to think the worst of every single situation I'm presented with. I'm an extreme pessimist, and even in the best of times, I can always seem to find the bad. I've finally decided to stop talking about change, but actually implementing it.
   
     I've started by getting out a little more. Going out with friends on the weekends or going on dates. I've also decided to put my bedroom through hell by tearing everything apart, getting rid of things, and overall, just making it look like new. The process has been very slow going, and very, very stressful, but it's finally looking like it's getting somewhere. Maybe in a later post, when it's finally completed, I will post before and after pictures ;-).
   
     I wanted to thank all of the friends who have been there for me through the tough times I've faced, not only recently, but long since past as well. Your support is the reason I am here today, the reason I am doing so well, and the reason I strive to better myself. I know I have been tough to handle, and I know there have been times you've all wanted to throw up your hands in defeat, but thank you for sticking it out and being there for me 'til the 'end'.
