I have not been a very kind person the last few weeks, which is particularly sad when you take into account that time period includes Christmas. I have been short-tempered and sometimes even flat out mean, and most of the time, I haven't even felt bad about it. There are no excuses for this behavioral slump I have been in. It is a problem and I need to get over it. As I was pondering my attitude issues this morning, I remembered this, my forgotten endeavor to count my blessings, and decided it was well past time for me to practice gratitude.
Today, I am very grateful for a husband who, after working all day at a job that is demanding and stressful and hard, was willing to do the huge pile of dishes last night so I wouldn't have to. I am grateful for a son who proudly battled the ants that overtook our kitchen table in the night before I got out of bed this morning because he knows they drive me crazy. I am grateful for a daughter who really wants to use the potty and be a big girl now. I am grateful for a nephew who patiently entertains his cousins and mows the lawn and takes out the garbage, even the stinky diaper pail stuff. I am grateful for a 2 year plan that includes things that I can be and am really excited about, and the opportunity to learn personal discipline from someone who excels at it (Lando).
New chapter. New post. New playlist.
