William Made Dessert

Yum yum.  I love my sons.

Attitudes Are Contagious

Attitudes are contagious. Are yours worth catching? ~Dennis and Wendy Mannering
Allan said his are not worth catching because he takes everything personally. He’s learning that everything is not always about him. He agrees to work on his attitude.
William has a great attitude in my opinion. He doesn’t take too many things personally either.
I loved William’s attitude when his football team played in the little league Super Bowl and he didn’t get any play time that night. It was cold and pouring rain. All William cared about was that he was on a football team and his team won.
After the game when all of the players and parents assembled in the locker room, William was found posing and taking pictures with the championship trophy. His attitude was GREAT.
Some of the other players who didn’t get play time were crying, angry, pouting and complaining. Not William, he was posing with the trophies and giving himself kudos for cheering on his teammates who actually played in the game.
Go William!

and I am thankful for:

• working close to home. I came home for lunch today.

• sons who love each other. TJ had to walk to another subdivision to pick up his little brother today. Allan really looks up to TJ and admires him. TJ plays well with Allan. They bonded today.

• appreciation. I love people who appreciate the people in their lives.

• more lessons learned. I am the person who is ultimately responsible for the amount of bullshit that enters my life. I can either accept it or reject it. The choice is mine.

Hmmmm....

Some days are easier than others.

Some days I just love em to pieces.

Some days I wanna scream.

Some days I’m so proud.

Some days I’m disappointed beyond belief.

Such is life.

I won’t give up on them. NEVER.

and I am thankful for:

• delegation. I love delegating work to others who are qualified to do it. I am thankful that I can delegate my work to at least 9 different people who I know will get the job done. That means I can also do more. Delegation is a good thing.
• a job close to home. I know I don't start until the 19th, but I am so thankful that my commute time will be cut in half. Not only will my time be cut in half, but the roundtrip distance will go from 50 miles to 10 miles. That is so beautiful.
• more time with my sons. Because of this new job, I will have more time with the ones I love the most.
• appreciation. I am thankful that the people in my life appreciate me. Shoot, I appreciate me. Don't you?
• self acceptance. I am thankful that I can be the REAL ME without worrying about offending some people. I am a flirt by nature, nothing I do on purpose. I am thankful that I can let the natural me and the natural flirt within me free and the people in my life absolutely LOVE me for it. There is nobody trying to change me or convince me that I need to be a certain way. I am thankful that I can be who I am and not give a DAMN about what others think of the REAL Me.

I love me just the way I am. I love those who accept me just the way I am.
