Trying to stay positive

Unfortunately I've been "Miss Debbie Downer" lately.  I have a roommate that is EXTREMELY negative, and I let her get to me.  We did an exercise at camp once.  One person stands on a chair, another person stands on the ground.  Both campers pull.  It illustrates the point: it's easier to pull someone down then pull them up.

I don't like being negative - nothing good ever comes from it!  So I'm attempting to boost myself back up.  I'm going to think about the positive things....

1. I have a new apartment that is absolutely gorgeous.
2. I'm healthy
3. I still have a job...well actually two.  As tired and overworked as I am, I'm still grateful.
4. My best friend is driving 8 hours to come visit me this weekend! :) :) :)
5. My mom and dad sent me an email and said they were proud of the woman that I've become. (Made me tear up a bit...)

6. I have 6 grandmothers that are living. Stay with me here... my mother's mom (Granny), mom's Grandma (Little Tiny Grandmom), my Dad's mom (Gammy), my stepdad's mom (Grandma Mary), my stepdad's stepmom (Grandma Gail) and my stepdad's grandmother (Nanny King).

7. Out of 32 grandchildren (on my mom's side), one of my cousins is having a baby.  That's my grandfather's FIRST great-grandchild.  Everyone's really excited.

8. Tomorrow is a brand new day

9. I have two health, adorable and well behaved dogs.

10. My car will be paid off in May

Ok... that was a little harder than I thought.  I need to flush out the bad and make room for the good.  I'm praying for happiness...for myself, my family, and all of my friends. (Even the friends I have yet to meet.)
