My word for this Monday is: enough.
Enough feeling sorry for myself. Enough worrying about what this year will bring. Enough negativity.
What will be will be. I want to live my life with hope, positivity and gratitude. I need to get back to that. It truly makes life better.
My friend Shaunacey from Confessions Of A Frumpy Mommy reminded me of that this week. For the record, she is the farthest thing from a frumpy mommy, but whatever. Shaunacey is hosting a new link up called Monday Moments of Gratitude, and I plan to join her. Each week I'll be sharing a few of the beautiful moments that make up my day.
This week, I'm grateful for:
- We found out that C will be graduating a quarter early from his college program because he has done so well. By April he will be a certified technician, and be promoted as a permanent member of the top team at his dealership. So proud of this kid.
- On Saturday we watched T swim at a huge invitational. He put everything he had into the meet, and ended up with personal records in the 100 backstroke and 200 freestyle. His new goal is to get district times in every event.
-
I hope you will head over to Shaunacey's blog and link up with her. I'd love to read about what you're grateful for. Have a wonderful week!
That quote is exactly what I needed today! Yay for T's best times and congrats to C for an early graduation! Have a great week!

ReplyDeleteI definitely needed a new train!
DeleteYour boys are doing so great! So much to be thankful for. I can "see" you beaming with pride. Love this quote...and so true!
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of them - and I just need to keep reminding myself of that when I get sad!
DeleteGratitude, yes that is key.
ReplyDeleteYeppers.
DeleteYes, sometimes "Enough is enough is enough". Important lesson for all of us! Especially me this week... doh! I linked up with Shaunacey this morning too, so hopefully that will be a lesson I learn in the coming weeks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming over to visit!
DeleteI love it: Enough!!! I'm going to repeat this all week!! You're so precious Lana!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrea. I feel the same about you!
DeleteSounds like everyone is doing great! Give yourself a break what you're feeling is totally normal.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rena! You're a good friend.
DeleteGratitude is something we all forget to do on a regular basis. Your kids are doing great!
ReplyDeleteThose are some wonderful things to be thankful for. What a positive link up idea. We all need reminders of the positive things in our lives.
ReplyDeleteIt really helps.
DeleteI love that quote. It's so much easy to get wrapped up in negativity. Thank you for reminding me to look at the positive side.
ReplyDeleteI loved that quote too when I saw it!
DeleteCheck out the book Gratitude and Trust by http://www.gratitudeandtrust.com/book/
ReplyDeletePaul Wilkiams & Tracey Jackson wrote it together. It can be utilized by anyone and is a wealth of information from inspirational affirmations to guest filled podcasts. It has helped me deal with the growing pains of friends and family.
Wonderful updates about T and C. I had a strong start to 2016, but now it's fading a bit. I have a lot of work to do indeed.
ReplyDeleteGreat gratefuls. Cause for celebration at your house.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to both your boys! I think maybe what we will feel this year is not so much negativity - but nostalgia. Lots of reminiscing about the years when our kids were small, but also one thing I've learned in the years since my daughter graduated is that our role as mothers changes -but we will always be "mom" :)
ReplyDeleteThere are not enough days in the week to comment as much as I like but I keep reading Lana. You must be so proud of both of your amazing boys. They did great. And thanks to you I found a new awesome linkup.
