Attitude

So, my New Years Resolution that I thought was impossible NOT to accomplish has become harder than I imagined. For those new readers, or those who may have forgotten, I decided in January that I was tired of making New Years Resolutions that never came to be...So, I made one that was fail proof. I took it from a General Authorities conference talk. I decided that each night before I went to bed, I would think of one thing that day that made me feel that I was blessed. One thing to be grateful for. Actually recognizing the many gifts I am blessed with each day.

We are now into about our 100th day, and it is getting harder than I thought. Not that there are millions of things to be grateful for, like trees, mountains, food, clothes, home, you get the picture...I was trying to personalize it more...trying to look at each day and think of something particular that day that I was grateful for.
As I was struggling, I read my cousins blog (thanks Angie:). On that particular day, she was talking about Optimism, and how it really makes for a Happier life.

I have always been a skeptical person, not really positive, but thinking about all of the "what ifs", and all of the possible things that could "go wrong". I am so grateful for our attitude! We have control over it. We can make the outcomes in our life positive, or negative depending on the attitude we take on. Let us all be positive in our thinking and our actions, and be grateful we have the choice to do so!
