Small Compliment = One Happy Girl
For months I have been talking about bettering myself for many different reasons. There are certain things in my life that I have made a priority since I lost my vision and was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Any traumatic experience usually brings people to re-evaluate their life. For me however, I wanted to make a conscious effort to better my life and my children's. I started with little things, I made a list of 20 Wishes. I keep these wishes nearby in my mind as I make decisions. The most important things in my life of course are my children, my family, my health, my close friends and my students. I want to be the best me that I can and that required me to eliminate a lot of the unnecessary stress. I am usually attached to my cell phone and for years it has distracted my attention. My sister and I spent this past week together and today on my way home she complimented me. She noticed that I spent my time focused on my and my children and not on communication with the outside world. I know to some that might not seem like much, but that is something I have worked hard to resolve. So thanks sis for noticing my "little improvements" on the road to my happy! So at least this is one little way that I can say I am practicing what I preach and "loving the life I live." :)

Way to go Sarah! I also have to force myself at times to engage with my kids and let other things go. Sometimes it is technology and other times it's letting housework wait.
