I woke up this morning with a really bad attitude. My head hurts, my face hurts, the cats were fighting, and the bird was already screaming.
But then my kiddo came in panicking that she was late for school and I reminded her she was staying home sick and I changed my thinking.
I'm blessed. I woke up, in a home, with a warm blanket, my child woke up, my animals woke up. We're all alive and able to voice ourselves.
I can stay home and complain and whine... or I can focus on the good and know that i'm blessed. I chose the latter.

I love the way you turned your thinking around. I'm trying really hard to do that myself these days. It makes everything just a bit better when we don't focus on the negative. Great job and I hope that tomorrow is equally as good to you.

I hope you can! It isn't easy, especially on the moody days.

I'm glad you have all those things to be thankful for.
Though, that doesn't mean you can't complain.
