So tonight is a pity party in my head and I need to change the feeling. In fact a lot of my days have been that way lately. It seems like I have been suffering from the why can't my life be like that syndrome (does anyone else suffer from that syndrome or is it just me?). Tonight Kent didn't feel good and went into bed at 7:00 pm for a nap. It's now way past bedtime and he's still sleeping. It makes it really hard for me to want to go to bed because the best part of bed time (the 2 min. of cuddling and talking Kent to sleep) is already over. I have to wait a whole other day before I can get it again. So...in order to get these negative thoughts out of my head I am going to count my many blessings. So here I go...
1. I have a loving husband who works hard so I can stay at home and raise our son.
2. I have a happy healthy son who brings joy to his mom and dad.
3. I have a roof over my head and a few cute decorations inside to make it feel like mine.
4. I have a car and it's paid for.
5. I have a truck and it's great even unpaid for!
6. I have the gospel to help me on nights like this from allowing Satan to really get me down.
7. I have two hands that are capable of work.
8. I have a strong body that is capable of exercise if I choose to.
9. I have plenty of food daily and it is usually fresh and healthy.
10. I have a great family who is there for me when I need them, all I have to do is ask.
11. My home is filled with things that tell me that I haven't been poor and destitute.
12. I have a piano and the ability to make beautiful music to cheer me up (and I can play it anytime because it's electric and has headphones).
13. I have great friends and good neighbors who value my friendship.
14. I have a quick sharp mind with common sense to back it up.
15. I can laugh and play and enjoy the good things in my life.
16. I enjoy and appreciate the beautiful things of nature.
17. My husband woke up and wondered why I am still awake.
18. I get to have 30 sec. to 2 min. of cuddle time. (I doubt talking will go too far)
19. I am a fun personality and good sense of humor (at least that's what Kent tells me)
20. I will be more able to get to sleep now that I get in my cuddle time. Good-night!

Good for you for making an effort to be positive in a time that was clearly hard for you. Hey it paid off cause you got your cuddle!
Yeah and it did make me feel better even before Kent woke up.
