Someone who loves me recently encouraged me to be more positive.
It seems my negativity (though often cleverly disguised as sarcastic humor) had really started to affect who I was presenting myself to be.
So, I've decided to be more intentional about being positive.
Here's a list of 10 things that I've often considered nuisances - and why they're truly blessings.
(feel free to add your own!)
I AM THANKFUL FOR: And WHY
Cold Toilet Seats: evidence that seat's been unoccupied for a while.
My Commute: 40 minutes every morning to wrap my mind around what I hope to accomplish over the next 8 hours and 40 more to leave it all at work and reacquaint myself with family life.
Being awakened with "Daddy, I have a nosebleed": I'm a daddy.
My Mortgage: A house I'm hoping to pay for eventually and a generous bank who trusts me to do so.
TAXES: I'm part of an economic system that affords me the privilege to dream big and see some of those dreams realized.
Car Repairs: I have a car to drive and a spare for when that one breaks. One paid for. The other almost.
Annoying alarm clocks: I'm awake to hear it.
Hundreds of un-mated socks: There are three more sets of feet in my house. All of them ticklish.
My dogs barking and baying at all hours of the night: All I need to survive is daily kibble, some fresh water, and a deck to hide under when it rains. Squirrel chasing is a bonus.
More month at the end of the money: Life gets simple in a hurry.
Thanks to my loved-one(s). Hopefully this trend will continue. Rest assured I'm thankful for you too!
