I think I usually post things that the kids do. So today I am writing some things that I am doing.
First thing is, I’m going to the temple every week! I am really excited about this. Darryl said he would watch the kids for me to go early on Saturday mornings. I only went twice and then our temple has been closed for a couple weeks. So I’m not exactly in the swing of it yet. But I am looking forward to it. From past experience, I know it makes a big difference for me.
Second. I am usually riled up about all the things I did not do during the day, how little I accomplish, etc. So at the beginning of the year I decided to write down the things I did do that day. Try to focus more on the positive. Wow, it only took a few days of writing it down to feel a difference. I don’t even write them down anymore, I can recognize the things I did. Usually.
Third. I have written in my journal everyday (except one) since January 4. I have wanted to for, like, a year. So I decided to not look at Facebook until I had typed a journal entry. I wasn’t sure if it would work, but it sure did! I couldn’t consistently come up with a time to do it. But I knew I looked at Facebook just about everyday. So that is when I write – when I am about to look at Facebook. Sometimes morning, sometimes afternoon, sometimes evening. It is a great reminder! And hopefully I have spent a little less time on Facebook, too.
As usual my kids constantly inspire me! Three great things that will help you find joy in the journey through life!!
