I hope the steroid taper goes as smoothly and easily as possible for you! <br /><br />Yep -- proactive (which is a Very Good Thing to be) is totally different than thinking positive. I personally also have a pet peeve about being told to put my faith in God, or Jesus, or any form of deity, and that will somehow cure me. :-P<br /><br />And I agree that it's a curious question whether there's an evolutionary purpose behind assigning blame. I sure haven't come across anything that studied the topic, but it sure seems like people have been assigning blame for various things as far back as history can go. :-/Avivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16411667763810131618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749687802138692392.post-81425770748897611152011-01-27T10:13:06.242-08:002011-01-27T10:13:06.242-08:00I'm a little loopy from tapering the steroids ...I'm a little loopy from tapering the steroids so I may not make any sense.<br /><br />But while I try to be proactive (which is not necessarily the same thing as being positive or negative) I hate people who think we can think our way to health, good or ill. <br /><br />These people have never been sick or if they have, they are revising their history.<br /><br />Humanity is so big on blame that I wonder has anyone looked at the evolutionary purpose it serves???<br /><br />MMedical Mojavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14445140579589340514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749687802138692392.post-23450593201505526822011-01-26T23:46:10.683-08:002011-01-26T23:46:10.683-08:00Interesting post!

I decided a long time ago that most of MY unhappiness was self induced so I decided to un-self-induce it. This is not the same as depression - I don't think there is a way to un-depress yourself. Nor do I think my decision to walk on the brighter side of life 30 years ago has any impact whatsoever on my physical illnesses. Magical thinking is not my cup o' tea!WinnyNinny PooPoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237156887425609665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749687802138692392.post-87912246578140794712011-01-26T22:39:03.409-08:002011-01-26T22:39:03.409-08:00I enjoyed Bright-Sided a lot.
