A Trying Week

The past week or so has been a bit trying.  I had a few situations that I COULD HAVE interpreted as frustrating.  I could have even called them nerve-wrecking.  I didn't allow them to get to me though.  At first it was a little tough.  Sometimes when you have a situation presented to you, your first reaction is to become irritated.  Instead, the best thing to do [as I have found], is to pause and think.  I think to myself "Is there ANYTHING I can be grateful for in this scenario?"  It never fails that I am able to find something.  Even if it is something small like "I'm glad I still have my sanity after that!"  Of course, I find humor in that so it lightens the mood just a little.  Sometimes that's all I need is to lighten the mood just a smidge.  From there, I am able to think more clearly and turn my mood around quickly.  Remember, your thoughts and your feelings are tied to what you bring into your life.  What I want to is manifest all things good in my life.  I will only allow those positive feelings that bring forth what I DO want.  I only wish to give thought to what makes me happy.  Find a way to be happy and grateful no matter what!
