I'm starting to count

Thanks to my friend Barb Hughes, who wrote this blog post on being happier. I highly recommend that you read this blog post because it has some interesting insights that I was not aware of. I'm going to start out at the top and start counting my blessings. I hope that I get to a high number. According to this study, people who literally count their blessings have a greater sense of well-being.

I'm counting my blessings and reaping the benefits. I'm smiling just thinking about it.

The glass

The glass is half full. The half empty glass shouldn't exist. People who choose to be optimistic are happier. Pessimism and realism can blind us from the good that is around. This adds stress to our packed lives. You can choose optimism and see positive aspects of life.

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13 NKJV

Oh Happy Weekend!

I have exciting things this weekend. Events that could make my life happier. If things go well, then I could be moving. I need this. Please pray.

If you are in need of another tip for relieving stress, I have two for you just for the weekend. Take time to accomplish something that you have been meaning to get to. You will feel so strong and more in control. Take time to do an activity that you enjoy. It will help you feel less stressed. I pray we all have a good weekend! Cheers!
