its all about me...

well not me in a selfish way, just me in an attitude way. i am starting to notice that my days turn out much differently based on my attitude and how i handle certain situations. on the days i feel i have lost complete control (of my children) are the days i need to take a step back and reevaluate myself and my behavior. if my kids are off the wall then im probably not at my best either...so instead of getting angry with them, i need to settle on the idea of us all taking a short time out.
life is so much easier when you arent angry all the time. but its sometimes easier said than done. i am going to try and live this month with the positive influence of one of my best friends who seems to have used this technique to turn her own life around. i am going to try and wake up everyday with a positive thought and goal for the outcome of my day. this week has been wonderful and i want more than anything for it to continue through the weekend.
i also want to end each day with a reading from my bible. i have had so many struggles in life recently, so many days where im not sure i can continue this way...but everytime i pick up my bible i read exactly what my heart needs to hear, so i guess its something i should do more often. its much easier to read things that lead to the positive in life then it is to dwell on the negative.
so wish me luck for a positive start to this new season in life...and summer of course!
have a great weekend everyone!

Awesome Shan!!! It truly is amazing how our emotions are our guide. and the more we dwell on the negative the more negative we will recieve. Live your life the way you want it to be and it will become your reality! Love you!!
