Finding the Good

7/21/2011

We are about 4 months out from Thanksgiving, but this week is about gratitude. Most of you have probably heard of gratitude journals, but have you tried them? Sure it’s easy to say things like- I’m thankful that I have a job, or that the sun is shining. But take it one step farther and include a reason why. Put some thought into it. This has been a crazy week for me, and to try and manage the stress, I’m learning to find the good in each situation.  While I typically shoot for 3-5 entries in my own gratitude journal- here is a little hint of what mine looks like this week.

7/18/11- Monday
John and I went to the house today so he could check out my water heater problem. I am so thankful for a friend who will drop everything to come and help with all the things that “dad’s” are supposed to do when you are a single girl.

Unfortunately he couldn’t fix the problem, but a coworker recommended a plumber they have used several times. I’m grateful for a coworker who is willing to help you find help.

I’m thankful for hot water! Even in this heat, two icy cold showers aren’t that pleasant! And thank you to the plumber who solved the problem as cheaply as possible… a less honest one could have charged me for all kinds of things!

I’m also thankful for the warm fuzzy love of my cats! Having to put the family dog (my brother’s) down, makes us remember just how special animals are! I hope Lexi is enjoying my dad and Patches (our first cat) in Heaven. Belly rubs for all!

Toughest day of the week. Today I attended the memorial service of my friend Peter’s 4 year old son. I am thankful for the outpour of love and support that I saw at the service. In facing the hardest thing they will EVER have to do, they were surrounded by friends and family. And btw- Cancer sucks.

So~ this weeks wellness tip—find the good amongst the chaos!
