Ok, so lately I've just been kinda a party pooper about life in general. This cold, miserable weather just makes me want to curl up in bed and never do anything. When I do have to do something I'm cranky and whiny about it. No more! I have decided that I am changing my thoughts and that I am going to try to have a positive outlook on whatever I am doing. Going to Wal-Mart to grocery shop for 2 hours? Woo-hoo! Changing my 4th diaper at 10am? Suh-weet! Going to the dentist? Can hardly WAIT!
Boyd K. Packer says that "our thoughts are the switchboard, the control panel governing our actions".
"I think therefore I am"
"Every thought is a seed. If you plant crab apples don't count on harvesting golden Delicious."
The thoughts that I think effect DRAMATICALLY my outlook on life and the way my day goes. There are enough people in this world that think negative thoughts. I for one am going to contribute more often to the ones who think positively.

Let me tell you ... after almost 20 years of counseling, this is the hardest one to learn and practice. But once you do, I can promise you it makes such a difference. Take those lemons and make lemonade out of them. I'm constantly working to find the silver lining in that terribly black rain cloud. It's not always easy but I promise it's so worth it!
It could always be worse! Thats what I have to tell myself! At least there is always Walmart! :)!
