December 28, 2009 The most wonderful time of the Year
I’m not talking about Christmas, no I’m talking about the New Year and the chance to take a fresh look at our lives. I found this quote:
We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day. ~Edith Lovejoy Pierce
So it got me to thinking, I need to concentrate more on my blessings and not on the everyday aggravations that sometimes fill my head with negatives. This happens way more than I would like it to. My daughter gave me a beautiful journal for Christmas and I am going to use it to start a gratitude journal, but not a normal, write 3 things that you are thankful for – I want to journal each day on not only what I am grateful for, but what makes my life a life I wouldn’t trade for the world. A positive journal – where no negative thoughts are allowed.
So in 2010 I’m going to try to live a positive life, and fill that journal with positive entries that will steer me in the right direction – I do have a lot of living to do and I want it to be marked with all the positives that go on, and not concentrate on the negatives!
Just my voice.
