I have read many articles lately about looking for the good in situations, thinking positive thoughts, etc. I have always liked the theory and believed in the effectiveness of putting it in action. I just couldn't figure out how to do it.
After talking to Jason during our romantic getaway this weekend, I realized we have both been struggling, going through the motions of life, and feeling depressed. We discussed the need for monthly date nights, trips every couple months, etc., but that accounts for 5-10% of my life. I do not want to only enjoy 5% and dread the other 95%. So I have decided to do my best to change my thinking. I plan to replace my "have to's", such as I have to get up even though I do not want to, to " I "get to", saying instead "I get to start my day with a super cute boy and the love of my life, along with a great cup of coffee". It is just a small shift, but I am really hoping it works for me. I want to live a life of joyfulness and peace, knowing I am who, what, and where God wants me to be.
