On Facebook I've been doing a November activity where I post something I'm thankful for each day. I cannot tell you how awesome it is to start each day with positivity and gratitude. This morning, for example, the boys got me up at 5:45am, Jack broke the computer monitor (should be fixable, just frustrating) and several other small annoyances occurred within a few minutes of getting up -- all before I'd had my coffee.
I was in a grumblecakes kind of mood, but when I finally got my coffee and got the boys settled and the pets fed and sat down at the computer to check emails...I had to come up with a positive, thankful message for Facebook. Thinking about all the things I have to be grateful for really changes your perspective on the day and makes things look a lot brighter -- even before the sun comes up.
I encourage everyone to take a moment to think about the good things in their lives each day. It's so refreshing.
