Unfortunately, I am feeling a bit sick today. Being sick is obviously not ideal, but the mindset that you have can go a long way in the path to getting better. Earlier in the day, I caught myself sulking in the fact that I'm not feeling well. I didn't really do much about it. Once…

I've found that I need to talk things through when I have something on my mind... Which seems to be all the time.
