Glass of Sunshine!
I have had a great day being positive--trying to rid myself of negative thoughts-- freeing!
I have started a new game with my family- you should try it. When at dinner ask everyone to answer the question "What made you smile today?" The kids will be so enthusiastic to answer, and you will be filled with more smiles.
When learning psychology we were told, that giving journals to our clients could be helpful, and in the exercises you should make them chronicle happy times and what made them happy or what triggered their anger or rage.
Fast Forward, and here I am reading Better Home's and Garden's magazine a magazine I myself would have never purchased but got as a gift. The recipes in the mag are pretty good, but this idea was worth a try- The Smilebox. The smilebox is when you and your family fill a box with index cards filled with your smiles of the day either write them down or draw. This helps to foster optimism. I loved the idea so much and now my family and I are now smiling and laughing at dinner a little more....
This morning I smiled a lot and I think sometimes we take these smiles, the inside giggles to our selves for granted.
My son made me smile when he pointed at Eva Longoria on Sesame Street and said Momma!
Giving my two youngest children a vapor bubble bath made me smile they are so cute, and it reminded me of when I would give my two girls a bubble bath in the middle of the day and now my little eight year old is a big girl : )
My oldest daughter got a haircut and said, "I love it I just keep looking in the mirror, but I know vanity is not good." Where do these kids get these things : )
Today I will smile and I will save these smiles....
It's like a glass of liquid Sunshine
