The power of Nemo...

I woke up this morning with a song in my head. Well, not actually a song, per say, but rather a little jingle, a ditty from a children's movie.

You see, recently I have found myself trying to lift my own spirits. I have been really bummed. Needless to say, the realization that it will be one year in a little over a month since I had my first surgery and I am no where near healed or finished with this whole nightmare, well, it makes me sad.

or Pull out my hair.

Basically...it makes me want to cry.

BUT...I find myself in this state of defeat, I remember the Disney classic, "Finding Nemo." LOVE THAT MOVIE!! Who doesn't? Anyone who does not appreciate all the wonderful lessons and humor from this great animation is crazy. It is pure goodness.

There is one scene in particular that I remind myself of when I get down.



Leave it to a little blue ocean fish with short-term memory loss and the best advice on the block (or the anemone that is)! Dory's advice is when life gets you down, to "just keep swimming!" Simple advice, I know. And not to be taken literally, unless of course you are in a pool or bobbing out in the ocean. But this simple message telling you that when things suck in your life (which mine really do) you have to just keep going no matter how SUCK they continue to be...eventually it will get better.

So next time you find yourself down or feeling a little defeated, just remember what Dory has to say about that...

"Hey Mr Grump Gills
You know what you gotta do when life gets you down?
Just keep swimming
Just keep swimming
Just keep swimming swimming swimming
What do we do we swim, swim, swim"

Thanks Dory, I needed that!

Wishing you all good health and humor!
