power of positive thinking

work has been a little rough the past month or 3. things were just starting to feel different. i dreaded getting up and going to work. after work, my mood was not a good one and it took me a little while to settle down even around my friends. and this is all in a job i've only had a little over a year. so that, in and of itself, frustrated me. there were a lot of changes going on. a lot of negativity from all different directions. and i got sucked in. i vented about it to friends. i would just get mad. i would even sit at my desk all day and not talk to anyone. okay - that is SO not me!

one morning, i was taking a shower getting ready. i decided i had had enough and from that moment on, i was going to have a positive attitude about work. i prayed a very simple prayer. "Lord, let me have a positive attitude." (as random as it may sound, my favorite prayer times are in the morning when i'm taking a shower and then when i'm drying my hair. it just starts my day off right.) i'm not lying when i say that ever since that day, things have been much better. i still pray that prayer each morning. and i feel it working. that's a great feeling.

"Lord, let me have a positive attitude. and let it be a great day!"

This is just what I needed to read this morning. I needed to be reminded of these points. I was up all night with a sick kiddo, so my attitude is less than desirable at the moment, which isn't fair to my babies. Thanks for sharing these thoughts.
