Positivity

After a little while of having no time, I finally looked at friends' blogs today and I noticed something--the ones where people were happy and positive were more fun to read. Sure, it can be comforting to read about someone having a hard time with something because it can make you feel understood for going through the same thing, etc., but what is the point in letting those things get you down for very long? The Lord has always looked out for me and, since I got married, for our family. He doesn't make everything go perfectly, but He makes sure we're taken care of.

So I've decided to do one of those gratitude journal things. I don't know if I'll make a habit of it (though I probably should), but I want to do it today.

Things to be grateful for this week:

1. I have an amazing husband whom I don't deserve, but who loves me more than anyone for some reason, anyhow.
2. I have an adorable, healthy baby boy who loves his mommy and daddy so much that he never wants them out of his sight.
3. Said baby woke up a few minutes ago, saw me looking at him above, and smiled so big, Mommy wondered how she could ever be frustrated with him.
4. I got to crochet a cool beanie with a flower on it this week, and I got to go to a Relief Society Enrichment group where we made something really cute, that I cannot reveal yet because they will be gifts for the baby girls of multiple readers of this blog. (Ooh, intrigue! :))
5. The weather is FINALLY getting nice enough to take the baby out, and I'm planning to take him on his first walk in the stroller today!
6. Also, Jamie is finally sleeping longer at night! HALLELUJAH!
7. We're switching to Alltel, so I'll be able to talk to My Circle people forever w/o worrying about peak minutes! (Sam, get ready for a gab-a-thon! :))
8. JINA IS HOME FROM HER MISSION and will be calling me today! I've missed her so much!
9. In a little over two hours, my husband will be home and it will officially be the weekend!
10. I might get to watch "Twilight" with a friend tomorrow!

Love to you all, and I hope you have a great weekend!
