I've had a lot of time...

to think since my last negative blog.  What I have learned about myself is that I am obsessive (and slightly compulsive) about things that I have no control over.  I worry to much about what could happen, and never spend time focusing on the good things that are happening in my life, at every moment, of every day. Nor do I spend enough time, trying to strive for the person I want to be, and making those "things" that I want to happen, happen.  That's not to say that I am not thankful, because I am.  I know I have many blessings, and I thank the Lord for all I am given, but not enough of the time.  I feel bad that it took me so long to realize this, and I know that this is a lot from where my negativity stems.  So from now on, I will strive to focus more on the blessings and less on the future, of which I have no control.

(just had to get this out there)

sometimes its hard to look past the negative. I've read a lot of blog posts lately where people are going to the same thing (I've posted a few myself) and I'm beginning to wonder if it had something to do with this time of year/weather. I've started doing this thing whenever I catch myself getting sucked into despair/negativity. I just close my eyes and count to 60, then I think of 1 good thing that has happened or I've done today. When I re-open my eyes I don't feel as bad. Cheesy I know but helpful :)
