I have just decided with all this negativity that is around us, that I want to be thankful and happy for all that I have. It is so easy to "piss and moan" (that is such a gross phrase, yet I still am keeping it here) about life's injustices and do nothing but add to it by keeping the negatives going, but I don't want to feel that way anymore. I can do something... look on the brighter side, see how much I have to look forward to everyday and just DECIDE to be happier. Being angry or hurtful or mean are decisions people make, so why not decide to be happy. I know it sounds "Pollyanna-ish" (not a word but you know what I mean). So let's see... what is it that I am happy about today???
I have a three day weekend off of work!! Z completed his first week of college and we all survived!! H is in honors classes her sophomore year of high school, and A's first grade teacher says she can see how bright he is in Math! All very good news and things I am grateful for... let's see what else...??? I decided not to cook dinner and we had Chinese food. A break for me! I met my friend at the new indoor dog park and Lola did pretty well for herself, not an insane amount of barking for her which was remarkable and I'm pretty sure tired A out too :) Always a bonus!
So in this pessimistic moment in time, isn't being content with what you have better than missing what you don't? It is to me!
