January 19, 2010 – Keeping my Cup Half Full

I’m having a difficult time today with positivity.  I’ve got a sick child, I’ve been stuck inside all day and have been worried about my baby.

Having said that, today is just a challenge, and just what this whole 365 is about, changing perspective, noticing what is good more than focusing on what is not good.

I’m thankful that tomorrow I will take her to a pediatrician who will take care of us both.   And I’m thankful that this is a temporary virus and not a major life challenge.  

So many parents are facing so much worse than this little tummy bug that’s got me all in shambles.  The positivity of today is that I’m nowhere near there.  Tonight I will pray for them first… for their peace of mind and for their babies.  Then I will pray for mine and be grateful for what it isn’t, rather than negatively focusing on what it is.
