I feel good today. Even though it's a little hectic with three children (yes, I did say three. and no, I'm not pregnant again.) Matias just went down for a nap, Judah has been sleeping for the past 30min or so, and Elsie is watching Veggietales. It's relatively quiet in the house, which makes me feel peaceful. It's a good feeling :)
Last night while I was falling asleep I made a decision. Every time I say something with negative connotations, I have to say something positive. Something thankful. For example: "I'm tired" (which I say a LOT) must be followed with "but I'm healthy" or something to that extent. I'm also going to try to not complain about things/life-- but since I know I'll probably fail occasionally in that area then my thankful comment will cancel out the complaint.... right? That's how I'm looking at it. I think it will improve my outlook on life.
To start things off, here's a list a some of the things I'm grateful for:
(no particular order)
- two beautiful, healthy children
- house with plenty of space
- working airconditioner
- nice car to drive
- money to buy groceries and things we need
- Justin
- good friends
- wonderful parents! (who also make excellent grandparents)
- cozy bed
- decent sized backyard with shade
- sunshine
- generally quiet neighbors
- ceiling fans
