A New Day

Yesterday I posted an article about the mother's attitude influencing the mood of her family. So i decided that today, no matter how i felt, I would choose to have a good attitude. I actually got less sleep than normal last night and today was a terrific day. Since i wasn't complaining about how tired i was, my children weren't complaining either. Since i didn't whine about how much they whined, they didn't whine. Since i didn't talk ugly to them, they didn't talk ugly to each other. Amazing, I mean really amazing! Sometimes i just need to be knocked in the head and reminded of things i already know. I smiled more, loved on my children more, and felt happier all because i chose to ignore my own bad attitude and be more joyful. How simple yet revolutionary!
