Happiness Is A State Of Mind

I have had a pretty negative week this week. For most of the week I totally dwelled in it in complete misery. Today I decided it was time for an attitude adjustment. I started thinking of all the things that God gives me that blesses my life no matter how small they are. Thought I would share the list with you.

1. Cool fall days with the windows open and a yummy treat baking in the oven
2. The smell of pumpkin candles even though I don't like the taste of it
3. Fall decorations and colors and mums
4. Laughing uncontrollably and being sore later because of it
5. Checking out at the store and finding out that what I bought was cheaper than I thought
6. Surprises especially when they are for no reason
7. Watching the look on my childrens faces when they are excited
   
8. The sound of a heartbeat of an unborn child
9. Driving with the sunroof open with the music turned up loud
10. Dancing with my kids
11. Someone telling you that you are a good mom
12. Holidays
13. Spending time with family
14. Road trips
15. Being pampered (I know, I can dream atleast!)
16. Coming up with craft project ideas and actually finishing them
17. A good pedicure (I had my best one ever last month)
18. The funny things that my middle child says
    
19. A good pair of jeans
20. The smell of a clean house
21. Sweet friends
    
22. The fact that my kids eat healthy and love their veggies
23. Having a best friend for 19 years
24. Parents who would do anything for you
25. Hot cobbler right out of the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
26. Sleeping in on a rainy day

Sometimes life throws crummy things at us but I guess it is all a matter of how we are going to let it affect us. I will admit, I totally failed this week but as I sit here and eat a handful of candy corn, I am trying to focus on the little things in life. Thank you Lord for these blessings that make life worth living!Post Options
