The Need for Positivity!

Usually around this time of year I start to get a little down. I blame it on the Pacific Northwest weather that this region is famous for. In fact, a couple of years back I went to the see my doctor for an explanation for my new found, frustrating lack of energy/enthusiasm. She said I was suffering from Seasonal Affect Disorder (SAD...nice acronym, right?)

Anyhow, one thing I've always known about myself is that my mood (whatever it may be) affects my day(s).

This is not always a good thing...

Therefore, I'm feeling the need to welcome as much positivity in my life right now as possible. Believe me, I know that I have A LOT to be thankful for. That has certainly never been the issue, but I do tend to focus on what I don't have and I have a tendency to compare my life to the lives of others I know (who happen to have a lot more money than us). Again, not a good thing...

So, I am making the conscious choice to be more positive. Each time I blog I want to post at least 3 positive things I've done that day/week or am feeling.

So here we go- positive thoughts/actions for today:

1. I got an extra day off work to lounge about in my jammy's with my hubby and son.
2. I ate a very healthy lunch and breakfast today.
3. I've received about 45 kisses from Jake today (those negate the fact that he puked in my hair earlier this morning...)
4. I've got some ideas about how to fix-up/decorate the office when Mom comes out in March.

....let the positivity flow!
