Hey Ladies!

I have seen a lot of women lately asking about how to stay positive, and trying got focus on positivity etc. It got me thinking back to a post from when i first joined DS that I found really interesting and helpful. (I think maybe it was started by Belle??) The author said that she tries to enjoy the small things in life that are different, in a positive way, bc she doesn't have kids yet. She gave an example of walking by a pair of shoes she really liked. later she decided she didn't have to buy diapers this week, had some extra cash, so why not?! she went back and got them. For me, on most Saturday mornings when I wake up on my own, having enjoyed sleeping in, and i am just laying in bed enjoying the fact that i have a day off work to do whatever i want...i let myself soak in the positive side of that. When my DH and I spend hours talking I think about my friends complaining that they "never even get to finish a conversation" blah blah blah, lol, and am thankful for the undivided attention we can give each other and the fact that we can enjoy some spontaneity. Sometimes when I come home from work and fall onto the couch exhausted I think to myself I am glad i can sit and do nothing for the next several hours instead of try to calm a fussy baby. Don't get me wrong, I will gladly trade this things for the blessing of a child and CANT WAIT for that day. But in the meantime, it helps me not wish my life away, by trying to see these other things as blessings too. What things are you enjoying right now, that you might not be able to enjoy the same way once your bungle of joy arrives?
