Good Day

So today was a day where I tried to think of everything positive to keep my spirits up here are some of the things I thought of. 

1- We went out to dinner and man I love teriyaki chicken and oriental salad mmmm.

2- I love Christmas music I can listen to Christmas music all year round. Christmas is just the greatest time of the year because there is just something different about it there is something that makes people happy an extra positive boost I don't know there is just something different if you can find it. I get that feeling when I pretend its Christmas.

3- I love the sound of kids laughing. While driving to dinner all the kids in the back were making loud obnoxious sounds to get Shaylen to laugh just a little giggle and it makes the whole obnoxious noise thing worth it. Once Shaylen laughs they get excited and all start laughing also. So good!

4- I love having communication to people at home in Utah. It's just so great to be able to talk to them and know what is going on. We live in such an awesome world to have the communication tools that we have.

5- I love that the weather in Arizona is getting cooler. Getting in the car doesn't put you into an instant sweat anymore! Also you can spend more then 5 minutes out there without getting heat exhaustion!!

6- I love memories, being able to think of the good things in the past is one thing to keep everyone going. Its the base of positivity, to be able to think about good things when you are down to help bring you back up.

7- I love praying because there is something about it that no matter what else is going on  you can always count on prayer to make things better. Even if its just 5 minutes to take your mind off of this world and all the hard things going on. Sometimes those 5 minutes are all you need.

8- I love being able to have better things to change your attitude. Our own desire to make things better then they were.

9- I love hair ties for days like today where I just wanted to be as comfy as possible so I threw it up where ever it wanted to go Or days where I put it up in a cute pony tail or some other totally awesome updo, they are just so handy!

10- I love pictures to help remind us of things that have happened. You can see so much emotion and feeling from one picture. It is so true that a picture says a thousand words.

Last goal: For a little while I kept forgetting but I think today was the best day of noticing the little things and noting the positive. It really helps and I hope I can keep focusing on that and working on it always.

New Goal: I am going to try to love people deeper and more sincerely. I know that sometimes I love people for my benefit which makes it selfish love or its jealous love but I want to have sincere love for others. Love that is like the love of Christ unconditional and patient.
