Perspective

Every month, around "that time", I turn into a negative Nancy. Daniel cannot do anything right in my mind and I just can't be happy with anything we have. I know when this is happening and my wifey has always been there to help me take on a more positive way of thinking when this happens.

I have decided to take on this more positive perspective all of the time. I know what you're thinking.... you've done this for years now and don't see why everyone hasn't jumped on your bandwagon. Truth is, I don't know why. I actually made this decision a little over a week ago and I am amazed at how much happier I am with everything since I CHOSE to be happy with things.

When Daniel bugs me I remind myself of how much we love each other and how wonderful a father he is. When my children start to act crazy I thank my lucky stars that they are healthy enough to run around and raise hell. When money is tight, I remind myself that there are people that have less than I do.

I have stopped comparing my life to the lives of other people and being jealous of the things they have that I don't. Instead, I remind myself that everyone has their problems and aren't going to make them public.

It is all about perspective, I know that now and I hope I can remember to have my more positive outlook from now on.
