staying thankful

This month I have made it a goal to stay thankful.

A couple times over the past few weeks I had to stop and think, “what am I doing?” A couple times I got caught up being negative at work, a couple times I got catty right along with my girlfriends, a couple times I made an excuse to not give someone a call back, a couple times I lost patience with a student, a couple times…

A couple times is all it takes. A couple times will cause you to get stuck – stuck in excuses, negativity, and just plain old yuckiness.

My goal for the month of November is to stay thankful. Thankful for a beautiful house, (I will NOT complain about anything I don’t like about my home!), thankful for my husband, (DO NOT NAG), thankful for my puppy, (he is not naughty and he does not have too much energy), & thankful for my students, (they are not lazy!).

I am thankful for my family, (call each one more frequently), thankful for my girlfriends, (I will not complain about any of the above mentioned items at girls dinner 🙂 ), thankful for my job, (i do not have too much grading), & I am thankful for chemo, (it kills cancer, ’nuff said).

I am thankful for this beautiful, chaotic life.

This month I made a goal…to stay thankful.
