I am jealous of all the wonderful creativity and time people have! Do you ever feel stuck? I feel stuck at my desk all day. I have these grand ideas but my butt is stuck in my CHAIR at work. Ugh....but I am so grateful for everything I do have.
My husband and I have been going through tough financial times {he's going to college full time} and it is easy to be negative. One thing I have started doing is thinking of all the good things in my life and saying them out loud.
1} I am loved by God
How precious is Your steadfast love, O God! The children of men take refuge and put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.
psalm 36:7
2} I have a wonderful husband who loves me for who I am {even when I don't and cooks dinner}
3} I have two beautiful healthy children
4} My wonderful parents are always there to help and love unconditionally. {they are angel's in some form}
5} I have a bed to sleep in every night
6} I am ALIVE
I already feel better just listing of those 6 things! I want to challenge you to list the good things going on in your life the next time you feel sad, disappointed or just in a funk. It makes you feel so much better and the thing you were mad about pretty small.

How true.. wonderful outlook!!!
