REGROUP

I realize that what I'm about to write may seem goofy, especially since I'm an adult and should be beyond this.  I'm going to write (5) things I'm grateful for, everyday; a daily affirmation if you will.  I need to do this, for my own sanity.  While that's a bit cliché, the recurring theme in recent days has been getting caught up in everyone else's "world" that I neglect my own (specifically J, K and I).  It's not that I don't care about others, but the concern is that my focus has too long been on other individuals and their impact on me; mostly in direct relation to sister-in-law and her antics.  <<in the best Cheech & Chong voice I can muster>> The negativity is bringin' me down, man.>>  My hope is that by reminding myself of what I have, the "slap in the face" lows won't knock my ass down.  So, with that…..

 

1. I'm grateful I woke up this morning – even on bad days, being above ground is a good thing.

2. I really like my new mobile phone.  It was worth the extra $$$ to upgrade before the "eligibility date"

3. I like my job and (after 1+ years) they like me.

4. I love my husband and son.  Even on days when they make me batsh*t, I wouldn't trade them for anything.  Besides, I'm sure they feel the same way about me on occasion.

5. I'm very happy to be a homeowner!  After spending my childhood growing up in apartments, I never thought I'd accomplish it.  Along with that, I'm glad that K will have more than I did.
