All the Good!

What's up with blogger? When I go to my blog they show me a post from monthes ago! So search the blog if you want to get the latest! I'm finally getting adjusted to standard time and didn't wake up til 6 this morning! Could be just a fluke tho. Today looks as though it will be a beautiful Indian Summer type day and wouldn't you know I have to spend the most of it at work! Think of me when you are out basking in the sun today!
This morning I want to reflect on some of the good things that are happening in my life. That's a switch, because I have a tendency too often to dwell on the negative and let it overwhelm me occasionally! Bare with me folks, I'm trying to change all that and become a more positive person!
First of all, I feel good! That's a good thing. I am so glad to be able to go to work and be a productive person and to bring home a paycheck every two weeks! Granted it could be a tad larger than it is, but still, I'm grateful that it pays the bills and keeps food on the table. I appreciate my family and all they mean to me...my husband is good to me and is a very caring person..I think of all the women who are abused and cheated on and I feel fortunate to have a good husband who is kind and considerate. My son is staying with us now and I am glad that I can help him out and he has been helping us by painting the house and I'm proud that he is trying to change his life for the better.
The best thing about my life is that I am developing a relationship with the Lord. It's an ongoing process and everyday I feel closer and closer to Him and that's probably the best good thing I can think of to tell about! I just want people to know that of all the things we hold important in our lives, there is nothing more important than knowing your Savior.
A few more good things are: my goofy dogs, they have brought much happiness into our little house and their personalities are so unique..I can only say..you don't know what you are missing all you folks who don't have pets..And several years ago I vowed I would never have another dog, for various reasons, but, these two hounds have made a lot of difference around here!
Good neighbors! I can't leave out the fact that we have the best neighbors. A young couple with three little boys on one side and on the other side and over the fence, we have an elderly gentleman and his sister who have become our friends as well as neighbors.
I could think of many other things that are good in my life, but I want to challenge all who read this to do a little evaluation of all the good things that are happening in your life and then ponder on the list a while and maybe you can chase away some of the negativity in you life and be thankful for the good things!
