Small Stuff - Gratitude

One of my New Years Resolutions was to get rid of FB ( face book) . I was sick and tired of the DAILY negative energy that was constant in some peoples lives . There are some perks of having a daily part of family and friends daily life but right now in the life I am leading right now I had more cons adding up to the FB world . I have learned alot since my absence of FB . Some FB friends were just FB friends nothing else then a # status they have going on sad but really true . I have been better off without those people and really the true real friends I have are all I really need any how .They are the ones the bring up from those dark days when you need help . I have found that my few minutes of peace and quiet computer time in the morning before anyone else was awake I was on FB reading negative FB status really reflected my day how I thought and carried myself for the rest of the day . I did not like the negative energy it carried on my daily life something I oblivious have issues filtering out . (working on it now ) .
I have recently started keeping THIS gratitude journal .



It's been a blessing and makes you think of the small good things that happen each day .Such as the grass starting to peek through the snow in the front lawn , husband getting home earlier so I got to have a long hot shower solo , noticing the bond my girls are gaining each day by watch for the small things that I would miss out ,getting the opportunity to have a nap one afternoon with my girls the things I take for granted because I would focus on the milk that got spilled at breakfast or the time my husband was late , or  the dog leaving muddy paw marks on the floor you see what I mean  . You do not jot down your daily happening not what you bought or where you went but the little big good things that you are grateful or bring you peace just a few lines . It really changes your day and out look on daily life . Don't get me wrong there is going to be those days you know the ones I mean when life just lets you break down and do the "ugly cry " but right now I am enjoying life and all the small missed details I took for granted !!
In the above picture I also have started another book called one line day it was what I got in substitute of A Moms one line A Day . Its a little book to keep track of one line of a memory of a child for 5 years . I know another huge under taking with Project life and all my other projects but they all help each other out and since I have been bad a documenting my kids life's like I would like I have this to help you later on when I get back on track if I miss a day its NO huge deal . YES I plan on doing one for all the kids too . So far no days missed on Isabelle's still have to get all the others kids theirs now  that I know it is doable .
