Day 30

Thirty days. Wow. Sometimes it seems that I am just starting on my journey. And here I am nearly a third of the way through. I am taking it one day at a time. I am trying to focus only on what I can accomplish today. If I keep looking at the end, I am afraid I will take this moment for granted. Today I am happy, tired, and hoping to get my workout in. I have a sick little girl, and rambunctious nine month old at home today and it definitely occupies my time.

Last night I laid in bed exhausted, just wanting to sleep and between the two of them there was no sleep. There was that selfish part of me that prayed for it to all go away. And then I realized that this is life, there is no changing these circumstances, but I can try to change my attitude. I tried, I don't know how successful I was, but any time I wanted to complain, I quickly replaced it with gratitude, and another thought. I think after I chose to do that I did sleep pretty good, when I could sleep :)

I am learning that optimism in every facet of my life brings about more happiness.
