T.G.

I'm feeling a bit cynical, hopeless & thankless today. Could be the weather, it's definitely my attitude. I just feel like sighing and complaining all day long!!!!! What I really need to do is adjust my attitude... again. So I'm going to take 10 minute and think of things to be thankful for, like I try to do every week, and see if it helps. Here it goes...

Thanks God

• for giving me endless last chances.
• for the choice to change.
• for your spirit alive in me giving me the desire to glorify you, even when my flesh doesn't feel like it.
• for cards and words and looks and nodding heads and listening ears of encouragers all around me.
• for the fading of feelings. I won't always feel this way, it won't always be work to choose joy.
• for the experience that allows me to be compassionate and understanding when I come across someone else with the same struggles.
• for being here, with me, through it all.
• for caffeine and carbs.
• for music to cheer me up.
• for work that MUST be done to help me shift my attention from my little pity party to the necessities of living.
• for cute kids that melt my heart.
• for a husband who has high expectations for me because he knows I am capable, and he appreciates my help.
• for a warm shower and a soft bed at to look forward to when my days struggles are done.

Well, not exactly a 180, but I guess I found a turning point. Now off I go to be as productive as I can, with the energy I've got.
