Get Over It Day

March 9th is Get Over It Day. Last year, I posted about my own Get Over It Day. Back then, I was having a very rough time with my radiation treatment. I was a basket case and after doing so well with chemo and surgery I was surprised at (and very disappointed in) myself. I couldn't stop crying, every day before and after treatment. I'd complain about how hard treatment was for me, but I wouldn't do anything to solve my problems. People like that drive me crazy, and I had become one of them!

What I didn't mention in last year's post was that on March 9th, 2007, I happened to flip on the radio on the way home from radiation, and over my sobs I heard the DJs banter about that day being "National Get Over It Day". I actually stopped crying and listened up. It wasn't the only thing that got me back on track, but it was the final push I needed to move on.

Thanks to Get Over It Day, I came up with my own ways to cope with radiation. I did, indeed, Get Over It! And I know everyone around me was happy about that.

March 9th is coming up, and once again there are things I just need to get over. I need to get over jumping all over the kids when they do something naughty. I need to get over it and not let a messy house upset me so much. And I need to stop feeling sorry for myself when my arm hurts or I'm tired or things just don't go my way. I need a daily reminder to get over it all!

What do you need to get over? And how do you plan to do it? The spirit of Get Over It Day can come in many ways. Maybe you'll call up a friend you've been feuding with, and talk it out. Or maybe you'll stop drowning your sorrows in that Half-Caff Venti Cinnamon Dolce Latte and do something about it!

Whatever it is that you need to get over, I wish you success! And now that I think about it, maybe you should celebrate with that Half-Caff Venti Cinnamon Dolce Latte! I know I will!
