I couldn't help but think of attitudes this morning. Tom went to bed with an attitude of "I am tired of working". He said he wanted his turn in taking 4-5 months of work off. I felt his frustration and anger. I commented that he should get sick and almost die, like I did. (Like I had a choice in losing my job and having to find another one in that meat market out there after being very sick. That was not something I chose to do, because I loved my job. But I never told him this part). Just wanted him to vent as we all need to do often. And I wanted to be there for him. Life do has it's disappointments for sure. I thought of my children and their disappointments. That got discouraging real quick as I felt their pain as a mom that comes along with that. But I could see something really great and that there is HOPE in the journey because they as well as I have the power to think powerful 'Good thoughts'. There is Hope in hopeful thoughts.
Like Peter Pan in the movie 'HOOK'. The lost boys kept telling Peter that he needed to think 'happy thoughts' in order for him to fly! Even if you fall hard more times then you want and the ground doesn't seem to be getting softer, IT IS NOT AN OPTION to get our sorry BUTTOCKS OFF the sorry floor and keep trying to fly 'over our problems to get the bigger picture', unless you like living in MUCK! Fight the complaining and better yet KNOCK IT OFF our To Do List! GET OVER IT! (As my husband would tell me often!) I just never have the guts to tell him that same thing. hehe.
The clincher to the movie was Peter Pan's 'happy thoughts' were his good memories of his family... something he forgot.
