Hmmmm.... here's one I thought I needed to share.
How I originally got into htis blogging stuff was through an email request stemming from an old college friend with whom I am FB friends with. She was a roomate for a summer and a fellow RA during my college days. Very insightful even then and continues to be with her blog looking at "green" ways of parenting as well as a little psychology (her profession) leaking in once in a while. You should check her out at mamaaroundthehouse.blogspot.com. She actually was my push to become a "blogger". She had an interesting post this week.
She says that people have more positive experiences and more positive affects if they were to take a few minutes a day to write down a few things they are greatful for.
I love this idea! Here goes.....
#1. For my little family. I love that my husband respects my job of taking care of E and encourages me to have time for myself. I love that they can survive without me (even though I think he needs me).
#2 My beautiful baby! I just love her to pieces and realize that I am truely blessed to have such a happy and healthy little girl.
#3 Coffee. (Do I need to say more? It is the sustanence of my life)
#4 The peace and quiet I have found in this morning so I can have some time to recharge.
#5 My job. Although being a nanny is not very glamorous and is not reguarded as a high profile job, it lets me feel useful in our family by bringing home some bacon and still can be with E to raise and care for her.
#6 Husband. He works so hard for us which lets me work only somtimes. (see #5)
This list was easy to write down because I am thankful for these things and think of them almost everyday. Life is good.
