Okay, so I am copying this idea that a fellow blogger did... I think it's such a great way to celebrate this Friday with positives. So here are a few of the reasons I'm happy today!
1.I'm smiling because within the past 24 hours I have learned a lot about myself. When we learn new things about ourselves, even if they're hard to realize or admit, it is an opportunity for growth! I am happy that God is still working on me! {I never want to stop growing}
2. I'm smiling today because I am having some great girlfriends over for a night of pampering and pizza tonight!
3. I'm smiling because I have a sweet healthy baby girl that is napping as we speak! (which I should be cleaning and baking for tonight instead of blogging.. ha)
4. I'm smiling today that I have an imperfect husband that works so hard everyday to provide for Kyah and I to be taken care of. Marriage opens up all your imperfections and I'm thankful that my husband still loves me....
5. I'm smiling today because I have recently realized how blessed I am to have a great relationship with my sister Robin and my Mom. It's so easy to take each other for granted and I'm learning to value our talks more and more. I love that Robin and I will call each other just to tell the other something real quick and 45 minutes later we're still chatting away... Or laughing about the guy that walked up and asked her for a description of pads and tampons for his wife.
6. I'm smiling today because I know that God loves me and will never turn His back on me. He has picked me up so many times and swept me off and just shown His unending love to me when I know I am so undeserving.
7. I'm also smiling and happy to say that I almost reached my first weight loss goal - I lost 7 lbs, 3 lbs away from my goal....
It is so easy in life to dwell on the bad or negative... This post started to be a challenge for me.... I could EASILY name off 20 things that I am not happy with or frustrated with, which is very sad, but the reality. It's all about choices, and I choose to make today a great day and to rejoice in the small and big joys of life!
What makes you smile today?
