Yay...3 Days!!

So I have to say {YELL} YAY ME!!! 

It has only been 3 days since God has challenged me to keep a joyful heart. But I have done really good. So I thought I would give myself a pat on the back. I have not been hosting the pitty parties that I was a regular at. I have been waking up each day the last few days and saying " Ok God, today is a new day...let me tell you what I am thankful for. " 

WOW it feels good. I know it may seem a little crazy to be getting all excited for just 3 days of keeping a positive mindset. But when you have struggled with something for a long time and you stop focusing on "it" it feels pretty good! 

I am just going to keep working at keeping my good attitude!! God is good and he truly has given me SOOOOO many things to be thankful for. So rather then put all my focus on the 1 or 2 bad things I am going to put my focus on the 1000's of good things. Nice huh?? 

Well if there is anything you have been struggling with I would highly encourage you to join my new party. The joyful party!! Everyone is welcome =)

"And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise."

{Philippians 4:8 NLT}
