Negative.

I've been having trouble getting out of a negative mindset lately. That's not to say that there aren't any positive thoughts or hours or days... but, on a whole, I've been struggling. Especially with the million little 'inconveniences' that pop up during a regular day. So, in an effort to change my attitude, or maybe just so I have something I can look at and say "See, things aren't THAT bad" I have decided to start composing a list looking for all the positives in all the areas of my life. One by one. Painstakingly keeping you a part of the process. 

For today:

My house

This will most likely be the shortest list ever.

We have one.

I have a large kitchen- and also a new dishwasher. Woot!

There you have it. I won't bring up the fact that our hallway door doesn't latch. Or that my open/dining room is three quarters hospital/baby area. Or that we don't have insulation under the floor. Or the kids rooms.... don't even talk about the kids rooms....

I think I veered off course here.... Ah, yes. The positives. We do have a house. It could be worse. And our neighbors aren't so bad. :)

This didn't work quite as well as I thought it would. But it's a start. Maybe next time my list will be longer.
