A Reminder

The last few days I have been in a really bad mood because of circumstances that just don't seem to go away. As I sit here thinking it over, I think maybe I am just continuing to look for the bad in things instead of the good. I need an attitude adjustment. I just came across this.

I started to think about how I have acted toward my children the last few days. Did I make them feel worse? Is that why they just couldn't be good at Target yesterday? I guess if I go in with a good attitude, and talk to them in a positive way about how we behave at the store, the outcome is usually a lot better.
Yes, Kael did have an allergic reaction and dropped a darn brick on his foot, requiring 2 ER visits in the same 24 hours. Then, he and Kai both pooped in the tub together. My phone decided to break and I had to fight with Verizon about upgrading me 19 days early. Yes, Tyrell is rarely home. No, I have not gotten an interview after about 20 applications for teaching next year. Yes, I recieved some terrible mail today. The list goes on, but I bet if I think hard enough I can find just as many good things that have happened in the last 3 days.

I think I am going to download this printable and stick it on the wall where I can see it often! It's a good reminder.
