In need of an Attitude adjustment

I promise this will be my last down and out complaining whining blog post for a while but, it seems like I have caught the May Blues. Life seems a bit overwhelming at present. I feel the need to sit back and reassess things a bit. It's so easy to get caught up in the negative stuff going on and even easier to forget how truly blessed I am and how good my life is.

So here's what's troubling me:

• Living in a flood zone with flooding predicted in the near future
• knowing that we have no flood insurance because it is unavailable in the city we live in. I guess we should have looked into that one before we bought!
• kid at school going ballistic on my 6 year old son, biting him and punching him telling him he was going to kill him
• He will be in Brayden's class next year
• Ballistic kid is my Friend's son
• Major strain on friendship with my friend because of the above incident
• My Mum will be having Chemotherapy soon for her MS

I know the above will all somehow work out. God always has a plan. I need to learn to trust and be patient and wait for his plan to unfold.

Instead of focusing on the negative stuff above, I am going to focus on all the things I am grateful for this week:

• Kids School was not completely trashed and the vandals were caught and arrested
• Loosing my digital camera on school field trip and finding out someone returned it to the lost and found at Science World.
• Going on field trip to Science World with Danielle's class (I'll post pics as soon as I get my camera back).
• Having my sister and her family living close by
• Being able to stay at home with my kids
• Family whom love me
• My Mum
• Good health
• Two beautiful happy healthy kids
• Husband who loves me
• A roof over my head and food to eat.
• Dear Friend giving birth to a healthy baby boy
• My garden
• The sun deciding to come out from hibernation
• Family game night
• Bedtime snuggles with the kids
• No flooding yet
• How much God has looked out for me this week

ENOUGH...I will be back to more upbeat posting next week. Maybe even some sewing too. I am itching to use that Dick and Jane fabric I bought a while back. I have a long list of sewing to do projects that just seem to get pushed to the back burner. It would be so much easier if I had a room where I could keep my sewing machine set up and not have to put it away after every sewing project. I need to figure something out...perhaps some furniture rearranging will be on the weekend agenda.
