Positives on Monday

Last week I had an unplanned blogging break, simply due to being so busy.... but I'm back! How was everyone's weekend? Wonderful I hope. Ours was pretty much planned around church events. Girls from the youth group came over to our house for a girls night on Friday, it was fun! We cleaned the house Saturday morning, spent some time outside, and then had other company over Saturday evening. Sunday we had youth night at church and it went very well, very proud of our youth. I'm back linking up for Positives on a Monday...now for my 4 positives things!

[ONE.] It's almost the end of the month, which is crazy, how did March come so quickly? I think it's a positive thing though because I love Spring and Summer and it's that much closer!

[TWO.] I'm not quite sure why, but it was pretty easy to get up this morning (if you know me you know I like every second of sleep I can get), I'm thankful for a good start to my day, and my week... seeing the sunshine helped with that!

[THREE.] I've been trying to eat better and make sure that I'm getting exercise. While it is hard to pass up on some foods, I have been making progress. I'm not perfect, but I'm beginning to see a small difference, down 3 pounds, woohoo!

[FOUR.] Sometimes we can't have what we want, when we want it. God has bigger and better plans and his timing is perfect. Right now I am being positive and enjoying what I have right now, in this moment. I am working towards not just looking towards what is to come, but realizing the blessings I have right now.

Have you thought about the positives in your life right now? What do you have to be thankful for?

Positives on a Monday

Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. Ours was a good one pretty much planned around church activities and a Sunday nap. We also enjoyed a BBQ lunch to celebrate our friend, Machele's birthday. Anywho, today didn't start off so great and when I saw a positive link up, I decided to join in to remind myself that even in the middle of a bad morning, there are far too many positives to let a few negatives get in my way. So, now for the link up and my 4 positives things!

[ONE.] It's Jillian Michaels work out day at Curves this evening, it's a positive thing because I can tell I'm getting better with each work out. I'm really pushing myself and I hope it begins to show.

[TWO.] Getting out of bed means it was time to get ready for work and I am being positive for simply having a job... and a job that is in my career field at that! Sometimes it absolutely drains me, but I love it and I have a purpose. Also I am positive this is the job for me.

[THREE.] Monday started a new week of meals, while doing our planning and shopping, we tried extra hard to choose healthier options. I enjoyed snacking on my grapes this morning and I'm seeing the good side of healthier eating, now let's hope I can stick to it! I'm thankful there are so many healthy things that are actually quite yummy, looking forward to our grilled chicken salads for dinner this evening.

[FOUR.] This cold weather totally stinks, and I'm over it... BUT, with each day, that's another day we're closer to Spring (and flowers) so woohoo for another day closer to warmer weather, even if it isn't here just yet.

And there you have it, I am glad I found 4 positives in the middle of this not so great morning, we have much to be thankful for everyday.
