Much better day today

It is so good that days like today come along to help balance out the days like yesterday. Not many negative feelings going on in my head today, I'm so grateful!

1. I did a 40 minute Firm workout. Sheesh, it kicked my behind, but I did the whole thing. YAY ME!!

2. I went wedding dress shopping with Geordan. It was so much fun to watch her face when she tried on "the one". It just lit up like Christmas. "That's it, I found it, we're done. Now, Dad hand over the credit card." It was a good day!

3. I spent 4 hours with Kevin. I don't get to spend much time with him and so it was very special to have him all to myself for so long today. We discussed politics, religion and Cisero. I always feel like I learn so much from him. My brain comes away feeling so much smarter!

I'm so grateful for my beautiful children. Each one of them is such a gift from God and I feel so privileged to be their mother. My prayers tonight will be filled with my Abundance of Gratitude for them. I am such a lucky woman!

Hard time thinking of three things today

It's been one of those days where I've had to rack my brain to come up with three good things I did today. Now if you asked me to list things that I did badly or just three really bad things I did, I could make you a list that would go on into eternity (I'm sure it probably will!) but the good things are in short supply today. So here goes nothing.

1. I went for a 60 minute walk. It hurt and I didn't want to, but I went. And when I got home I promptly lost my pedometer in the toilet. I said a bad word, I admit it. But I'm over it.

2. I cleaned the kids bathroom today. It was disgusting and I swore I wouldn't do it again, but I couldn't stand it anymore so I caved. It is all sparkly and lovely though. Gotta love that.

3. I bought Ben a Bakugon at Walmart. It made him so happy. After listening to me yell at him all morning he deserved to be happy for a moment. HMM buying someone's forgiveness, is that a good thing? Am I teaching him right principles? Make Mom really mad and after she's done yelling at you she'll take you shopping and buy you a toy. Maybe not quite what I should be going for.

So there's my three good things for the day. As you can see I've managed to get in a few negative things with the good. Isn't that usually the case. I can't ever just see the good, always gotta find the bad too. But I'm working on it. Tomorrow will be better, right?

Three Good Things I Did today

I'd been doing some reading over the past few weeks, yes I know, what else is new. But I came across a bit of wisdom about recognizing the good things we do everyday, instead of feeling guilty about the things we don't do, or don't do right.

So I got to thinking about that. You know, I've written in gratitude journals, finding something to be grateful for everyday. I've made "to do" lists everyday, I've blogged, written in a regular journal, posted with my Weight Watchers friends, and written on Facebook, Hotmail, etc. I've purged my entire life with a therapist.

I read my scriptures, my Ensign, pray, go to the Temple and keep the commandments and my covenants.

Even doing all these things, my life seems to revolve around all the things I don't do or that I don't do right.

So I'm going to start recognizing the things I DO, everyday. All the things I accomplish, no matter how small, and all the things I DO RIGHT!! I know I do them, I just don't recognize them. So I'm going to start. Want to join me? Just three things that I do right everyday.

Here's todays Three Good Things:

1. I put on my pedometer and went for a walk for 60 minutes. Listened to some good music and came home feeling like a million bucks. YAY for walking!

2. I balanced my checkbook.

3. I cleaned my entire kitchen, including the fridge and floors. It's all sparkly. I love it when my kitchen is clean.

Feeling good about those three things.
