Good News about Life

Lately I've been thinking about how many of us are "hanging on" and just "getting through one more day, one more month" until we "get through" time in our lives. Many of us have been struggling for some time and it's affecting our quality of life... and I'm not talking about the financial side. Not the "stuff" we have or number of dinners out...but the relationship and personal side. We're wearing ourselves out with this attitude.

Has it occurred to anyone else that this mentality of "hanging on" is not serving us? - THIS is where we are NOW. What we have is what we have. Today is all we have! And we ARE moving forward. The real question is, are we CELEBRATING every day?

What can you do to celebrate with your families, within the realities of your life, that is soul fulfilling for yourself and your family? Are we taking advantage of those things you can do, rather than worrying and lamenting about what we can't do? Here are some ideas:

Have you stopped reading good books because buying books is too costly? USE YOUR LIBRARY! It's fun and it's a free public service for books, videos, audiobooks, and more! Go sign up with your spouse and kids. It's fun and it's free.

Movies with expensive popcorn and candy is out of the budget? How about those library movies, or even Netflix and micro popcorn! You probably CAN afford that and can even do it several nights a week! Pick up Costco dogs or pizza on the way home and

Spring is almost here... when was the last time you packed up your folding chairs, a football, a Frisbee, and sandwiches and went to the park? How about a kite? Those are memories you and your family will remember.

Wishing you a Positive Life,
