hmmm

I may have stumbled upon the reason I feel like I do sometimes...

So here it is..

I am not as thankful as I should be for what I have, people in my life, situations I'm in, how things turn out, how people treat me and the things people do for me.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's it... (and yes mom, I just admitted it)

I think if I thought of this more and was grateful for everything instead of being upset and grumpy, I would be soo happy.

Example: My parents have been letting me live with them rent free until my house is done... that's amazing! Heaven knows they could have charged me rent but they graciously let me stay for free...

That's just one example... there's a lot and some of them are rather private.. but I've made my point..

I am thankful for everyone in my life right now,

all the people that have touched my life in some way,

my mom especially for helping with so much that I don't know about with this whole house thing,

people for dealing with my crazy mood swings as of late and still wanting to talk to me,

people telling me what I need to hear (good or bad)

everyone that makes me feel loved and allows me to love
people who make me feel special,

I could go on forever..

so from now on I am going to list things I am thankful for cause it really opens my eyes to all I have and makes me feel better..

I don't know where this came from.. but I do think that it did help to yell and sing in the car ride to work, it went like this.. "I am going to have an amazing day!! No one will get me down!! Nothing will stand in my way!! Today is going to rock!!!" And everything else positive I could think of..And if that wasn't what helped.. it could have been the fact that I was yelling positive things that made me smile and laugh a lil.

Try it!
