Thankful : November 19

Love the words "cultivating a happy heart."

I love the sight of striped sun coming into the house...we're on the same wavelength as I just blogged about it yesterday in my sewing room! You're right about changing the attitude...I so often have to take a time out for myself, pray, recenter, breathe, and try again. Thanks for the inspiration today.

I am just loving your gratitude journal. I was JUST talking to my dad about humans unique ability to change our own reality and what a wonderful gift that is. He is going through a difficult time and is still very positive. I was giving him an example about how I have been applying for a full time position since mid 2008 and only recently found out that the online service I have been using has been holding my revised resumes in digital purgatory. I was so mad it made me nauseous. Then I decided Hey! This means I will probably get an interview soon. Now that they will get my last 3 years of employment history. lemons to lemonade baby.

I came across your post at just the right moment yesterday - at a point when I was having a particularly rough day and almost ready to break down into tears. Your post was uplifting and sparked a similar blog post of my own. I was able to give myself a much needed attitude adjustment and managed to enjoy the evening. Thanks so much for your touching honesty.

thank you.
i loved the Charles Swindoll attitude quote from your younger days that you shared in our BPS class.
need an attitude change in these grey Oregon winter days.
need an attitude change with husband in 8th month of unemployment.
yet so good to hear a friend tell me last weekend that i looked happy. really? yet i am. blessed.
p.s. i think i just bought the same calendar that it looks like is laying on your desk. it's going to be my special bright spot on my desk at work. but what a good idea to use a flower frog to display it. love it. thank you!

blessings to all who consider attitude - I like to think of it (today, anyway) as a framing or lens - good photography analogies, anyway - how do I compose my angle on today's realities - limitations - challenges -purpose - offerings and lessons.
Thanks for your words!!!

Ali,
Where did you buy the "note" holder on the right side (above the keyboard)?
