More Positivity

Just a list of more positive things happening in my life:

-The game I reffed last night went really well..and it was working with fun people!
-I leave for Chicago tomorrow!
-I'm going to also be spending Sunday night and Monday with my sister, brother in law, and niece at Mt. Olympus theme park in Wisconsin Dells.
-Finding a replacement referee for Monday night was super easy.

Why would I ever want to complain when God has made my life so good? So far I've done pretty well with my no complaint challenge- I've caught myself thinking a few negative thoughts, but I've been able to squash them before anything has been vocalized!

No Complaining

This will be a short post, I think, but I need to put this in writing. After so much self-misery and complaining, I've decided to challenge myself to as little (or hopefully no) complaining as possible for the rest of the week. For the next four days, I'm going to try to be positive about everything and count my blessings rather than dwell on my problems. It'll be interesting, and undoubtedly difficult, but I think if I take it seriously and really commit to this self challenge, it could also completely shift my entire attitude toward this summer. And, as noted in the past post, to this point, my attitude has been..well, stinky.

And because I work best when people tell me they don't think I can do something, I'm betting myself that I won't be able to get through the next four days complaint-free. ..and I'm prepared to prove myself wrong!

The positives of today:

• I'm once again a member of the Y! I walked/ran 2.8 miles today!
• I followed what was happening at work for the most part.
• I had a good, meaningful talk with a dear friend of mine.
• I made dinner almost by myself without burning the house down.
• Plans were made for my weekend visit to Chicago! (WOOT.)

Farewell for now - praying for the strength to be positive!
