being positive !

so.. it just hit me today how negative I was being and how much it was ruining my chance for happiness. I'm talking about the summer. Every year I dread,dread, dread the summer. And it's an aweful habit I have let myself fall into. Then i had this " aha" moment today while I was walking. Like a bolt of lightning. how could I have been so stupid ?
so here are my reasons for loving summer this year :

1. I don't have to wake up kids and go through the daily struggle of getting everyone out the door for school.

2. I can walk in the early morning again, instead of trying to do it later when Im to tired.

3. I have many family activities planned that should be fun. One of which is my dads 60th birthday ! And he looks good for 60 !

4. I can shoo the kids outside to play !

5. I can work in the yard and try to grow some veggies...LOL.

6. my roses will bloom, which i always love and look forward to.

7. I can organize and clean out all the crap in my house I dont need or cant find ! HAHA !

8. I have a dear friend and family coming to visit me.

9. I can open the windows and let the fresh summer air in after being cooped up all winter !

10. I can visit my favorite places with my family and friends. which is always a treat.

hopefully this will help me stay focused on the joy of summer !
