Positive Thinking

I actually wrote a whole blog and then deleted it. It was pretty much about stress, not being able to work out, and the massive amount of food I will be encountering over the weekend. I read it, and thought "if the biggest problems in my life are that I can't work out for a few weeks, I am stressed over things that are IN my control, and I am worried about overeating this weekend, then I need to take my own advice and put on my big girl panties and SUCK IT UP." I have it good. I have it a lot better then others. I am sooo truly blessed. It seems like in this day and age, we complain about anything and everything. I am always trying to point out that 'silver lining' for my friends and family. I am always trying to point out the things they should be thankful for, and that they could have it A LOT worse. I need to start taking my own advice.

I guess this blog is more for myself then for anybody else. Just to remind myself that I really don't have anything to complain about. Most of the things I find myself and others complaining about are in our control. We are in control of our own destiny. On this journey I plan on being positive. Being positive doesn't come naturally for me. It is something that I really have to work on. Sometimes I just have to think of all the things the Lord has blessed me with and just like the Garth Brooks song, I am thankful for A LOT of unanswered prayers.

What are you thankful for?
What do you do to stay positive?

*I apologize for those of you who were expecting a weight loss/workout post. My blog is mostly for that. But sometimes I just like to talk about life.
