About
I am a suburban mother of three beautiful children who has the tendency to complain. I hear it all the time, “I don’t want to clean my room!” “Democrats are too liberal,” “Republicans are too conservative,” “Gas is too much,” “My house isn’t worth enough.” Negative thoughts and discussions are all around us. It is so easy to get caught up in the complaining. I’m sure each one of us could find something to complain about if we looked long and hard enough, but why should we? I mean, spending our whole lives focusing on the negatives around us just can’t be doing us any favors.
That is why I am dedicating this blog to the positives.
There are positives, and they happen to be all around us too. Sometimes they are just harder to see.
For instance, a few short days ago, my darling little toddler dumped an entire box of cereal on the floor, an entire FULL box of cereal. I nearly lost my mind! I had been cleaning all day and the house ended up looking no different than it had that morning. After giving the little dear a stern “NO, NO!” I went to work cleaning it up. Before I knew it my two older boys were joining in and the moment suddenly had a little sense of sweetness. Instead of losing my mind like I had originally planned, I was able to take a deep breathe and enjoy working together with my kids. We ended up having a good laugh about the whole situation. Allowing that little bit of sunshine in kept a lot of potential darkness out!
That’s my challenge to you. Look for the sunshine in your life, then scatter it to others. Heaven knows we could all use a little more light every now and again!
