**Is it me, or is the luckiest thing to get a WHOLE extra day this year — Happy Leap Year Everyone!**
A year ago I was planning what we were going to do in Summer 2015, looking at my oldest’s high school schedule and mulling over what an awesome PTO president I was going to be and all the free time I would have once my husband had just one job and I wouldn’t have as much pressure to make money.
Let’s all have a nice belly laugh over that.
Life is 100% different than I had planned. All summer we thought we’d move and then we thought we’d just be here a few months.
And we’re not, we’re still here.
BTW, I am absolutely in LOVE with this talk about timing. If you believe in God’s timing, check it out!
And I just officially gave up the dream of moving. I can’t think about it anymore. It might happen somewhere down the line but I can’t wrap my head, arms and heart around it anymore. We live here, and we’re going to live here for the forseeable future.
That’s a funny thing, the “Foreseeable future”
{let’s all have a nice laugh about that one too}
Here I am, working at the hospital (still about the same), but I’m busting tail on this blog to make it the best blog ever because it is now our main income source-something I had never envisioned in my “foreseeable future”.
And some might just say I got lucky.
And while I do think I got blessed, I don’t think it’s getting lucky.
You might have heard me mention the book “Remembering Wholeness” by Carol Tuttle (also the author of Free Energy Profiling and Free Energy Profiling — you can see my makeover here). This book really came when I needed it. Because, you see, I felt like I was incredibly unlucky.
I don’t need to go into the sad song that was my life. Suffice it to say I felt like I had made a lot of wrong choices in my life and I was now facing the consequences of them.
I doubted everything, I had no hope.
But, she taught me to look at my life in a positive way. To think positive, to look for the positive and I really believe that when you do those things, more positive things show up.
Instead of living your life in struggle, you live in a positive way that notices all the blessings.
So, am I lucky? Yes. 100% lucky.
But was it luck? No.
Building a blog is a lot of work. There were people who fall into it with luck, but those people are awfully rare.
Keeping a family together in the midst of unemployment and role changes is not lucky. It takes a lot of work and a LOT of focusing on the positive.
I’m lucky to know all that.
So, today’s call to action is to challenge you to find the good in your life.
Stop focusing on the negative. It will mire you down until you can’t move any more.
Tell me WHAT is good in your life right now, and how you’re going to focus on that! It will make you lucky and most of all, it will give you happiness!
