The weather here has been very snowy. I think I've only seen the sun three times since last weekend. Very unusual for where I live. It's almost enough to bring about a sour mood. I feel like I've been living in a state of sourness for many months now. I have not dealt well with the change that my life has gone through. But yesterday, when I sat at the table to listen to my daughter share how her day went, and was exposed to her sourness for the second day in a row, I felt like God was opening my eyes to what He needed me to see. My own sourness has taken it's toll on not only myself, but now it is rubbing off on my family.
So this morning, as I sit here at my computer because we have our third two hour delay this week, I have decided to embrace happiness again. I told my daughter she needed to get an attitude adjustment, but in reality it is me that needs the adjustment.
Today I plan on embracing the positives.
Having extra time to do the laundry.
Being able to take care of my banking needs this morning and not after work.
Spending extra time in my daily readings.
Having an extra hour to get paperwork done at school.
Eating a warm breakfast.
Sharing my morning with my children without having to rush to get ready.
So many things to be thankful for. Grateful for. Appreciative of. So many silver linings as one of my dearest friends always says.
Today I choose happiness.
