Positive thoughts

Adam tells me I need to put something positive on my blog and I know he's right. I feel like at times I can be such a whiner. Last night my dear friend Abbie brought dinner over. It was truly a blessing as my kids would have been on their own for dinner but I couldn't help but feel guilty. Like, if I hadn't complained then she wouldn't have had to do that. But, I am thankful. The thing about my blog is that I don't like to sugar coat anything. Things are what they are. I remember a conversation I had with a friend awhile ago where she said that she didn't like blogs because the were always about all the wonderful things that happen and how their kids are the best and so forth. You know, ooey-gooey with sweetness. Well, I just try to keep things honest. There are a lot of wonderful things that happen. But life isn't always a bed of roses. But, a thought came to me today as I was vegging out in the tub when I should have been getting Ian ready for school. I was thinking to my self, "you are so lazy! you should not be doing this right now!". The thought occurred to me how many negative things I say to myself in a day and how many of them I've come to whole heartily agree with. Maybe if I think positive thoughts my life will be come more positive. It's worth a try. So, good news. I've lost 12 lbs since I came home from St. George. Yay! Other good news. Well, I can't think of any. But, I'll keep on the look out! Here is to a good day!
