Positive Energy


It's hard to stay positibve in this economy and state of affairs, but we as a family are really trying. I made it my vow during Lent to focus on being a more positive AND grateful person, because I could really use some help in both areas. I get into the habit of complaining and sometimes feeling as though the world is against me, and then I stop to look at Faith's beautiful little face and realize that nothing is that bad. Even when she doesn't feel well, she's a total trooper! She's still cutting the same two molars AND has a cold, but yet she's still smiley and sweet. I got lucky without a doubt!!! I hope that happens the next time around whenever that is.


There's so many bad things happening to people we know and in the world, you can easily get swept up into it. I am trying really hard however to be a positive role model for Faith. Knowing that she really doesn't understand just yet, but that I need to get into the habit of showing a positive attitude and a willingness to embrace life. My mom always told me that it takes just as much effort to smile as it does to frown--so true!! The same holds true for my work--I have plenty to keep me busy right now but for the next round I am just anxiously waiting for something to pop. I know that it will, I believe I will get more work, and as I told Jeff the other night I am convinced that my positive attitude and confidence are the reason why I've been able to get work to this point. Here I am a year later and feeling good about clients and workload. Let's just hope that it continues!!


So another week and hopefully not full of obstacles, but rather good things. Here's hoping!!
