Blessings in Disguise

I've decided to do better at looking for the silver lining in life. I think I may feel influenced by the news lately. There's too many negative things happening. There are too many things surrounding us that are unhappy and imperfect that I'd like to do better in choosing to be happy. 

For example, I really don't care for snow. We had a small storm last week and these are the positive things I am choosing to take away from the experience:

Shane took half a day off of work.

He and Emma went outside to play.

He taught Emma how to make a snowman.

My heart was bursting with joy too watch them play together.

We made cookies and drank hot cocoa for snack.

We were all grateful the weeds were gone so the yard was inviting.

I'll be the first to admit that negativity is contagious and it's turning into a plague. I will do better, I don't want to spread the disease.
