Dana has inspired me to do this because I get stressed during the week and this helps me to focus on the good things that have happened in the past week. I had a friend of mine who had always been told the bad stuff and so she focused in on the bad and as humans, we seems to let the bad stuff overwhelm the good that happens. I told this friend to make a list of the good things that happened each day until she was able to focus and dwell more on those than on the bad things that happened. I started doing the same thing. This is kind of the same only it is going over the good things that happened this last week. Of course, you all have heard about some of these things already, but it’s just good to list them out and thank God for these blessings He has given us.
1. found an awesome homeschool group
2. Christine is doing well on her reading.
3. Pastor and his wife are so wonderful to work with at our church.
4. We found the harder children’s book section at the library so Amie and James were able to get books more in their reading level yesterday.
5. School is going better this week than it had been in the previous two weeks.
6. The kids got their bicycles this week which helps James to get more of his energy out.
7. (THE BEST IS SAVED FOR LAST!) My sister had her baby! A boy, Benjamen! That gives my parents 8 grandchildren, with 6 girls and 2 boys. James is very happy to have another male even if he is 9 1/2 years younger.
