I haven't blogged in such a long time. I felt like I was just bitching and moaning and while that is how I was (is am) feeling I don't want to live my life like that. All the negativity just sort of perpetuate itself and I have to take control of my thoughts and feelings and put myself in a more positive place. I am currently reading 1000 Gifts by Ann Voskamp and I have taken her challenge. I am recording 1000 gifts/blesings from God. After a week of looking I have recorded not quite a page of blessings. I don't naturally look at life like this. I am really having to look for those little blessings that surround me and be thankful for them. I can see all those magical thinkgs in other people's lives but I hhave such a hard time recognizing them in my own life. This is my Lenten journey- to focus on the good in my life and shine a light on it and thank GOd for them. So here we go, I am going to record these little blessings here on Sunday.
Daily Gifts:
1. Pretty things on sale at Target.
2. The ability to run/walk on a cool/brish morning.
3. Hot water heaters that break but don't flood my house and the ability to replace the broken one.
4. The ability to help friends in need. I may not have my own children but I have so many family and friends that I am available to help out with their children. As a result, I am such a part of those children's lives. I am Aunt Kat, not "just Aunt Kat". I can listen to them and not judge or get emotional because it is not my job to raise them. I can teach and mold them from a different place.
5. Hot showers!
6. A thoughtful husband how to make my coffee perfectly.
