![]() Almost every morning he sneaks into our room and curls up at the end of the bed, just because he wants to be where we are (his words). I only have a short time left of my kiddo snuggles before he decides that he is too big for it, I mean who knows what being in first grade and turning 7 will bring, lol. This morning I was reminded of why I am trying to be so positive. It seriously made me seem like one of those people that no one wants to be around because of they are just brought down in my presence. With that being said, I have noticed that prior there had been so many times that I was very outspoken about my negativity with life, or my kiddo, my hubby,or how bad the world is becomming, etc. Not only for my mental health but for my family. This is now, I need to live in the present and stop dwelling on what might have been or what could happen and just be. Don’t get me wrong I had valid reasons from my past to make me this way, but all of that happened in the PAST. Relationships suffered, jobs suffered, my anxiety was outrageous, the list goes on. This is hard for me because my ENTIRE life so far I have been such a negative nancy that it was seriously starting to weigh on me. Peace to each of you my friends.Recently I have been trying really hard to be a positve person. But, even in the seemingly darkest of times, I encourage you to cling on to one thing you are grateful for and just say thank you.over and over and over. But those who never cease to amaze me are the ones who can stand in the middle of the storm, with tears in their eyes scream out.thank you for the refreshing rain. I have had many friends and family lately experience some pretty severe storms. When you are standing in the middle of the storm it is difficult to be grateful. I know also that sometimes in some circumstances, it is difficult to find things to be grateful for. But gratefulness in our lives gives us hope. I know I have written before about being grateful. I am thankful for the opportunities I have everyday to listen to others and share with others. ![]() I am thankful for all those that allow me to be a part of their lives in one way or the other.

I am grateful that Sarah is excelling in school and feeling a sense of worth and fulfillment from what she is doing. Brennah's sense of humor makes me laugh hysterically sometimes. ![]() I am grateful for each moment we share together. Sometimes we are so worried about getting the kids here or fixing this or cleaning that, that we just forget to stop and smell the roses and be thankful. When things get so busy it so easy to forget to be grateful. Also, my gym schedule is changing with more classes and I am adding Aqua Zumba for the summer. This is something I am going to have to get used to since we are starting a new journey next school year of homeschool. Brennah is home all day now since school is out. This means she is home more, which is awesome but it takes some adjusting. ![]() Sarah is done with school for the semester. #NEGATIVE NANCY POSITIVE PATTY HOW TO#It is the time of year that everyone wants to get out and be about doing outside stuff with family and friends!
