Today I'm changing my attitude. A friend posted on her facebook status that today it was not what "has" to do, but what she "gets" to do. So, today I'm going to try to remember........
.....that I don't HAVE to take Kaelyn to swimming for the 500th time. I GET to drive in a car that most people can't afford and watch my daughter do something that some children will never have the ability to do.
....that I don't HAVE to nurse Campbell. I GET to sustain a life and do something that is a priviledge to do.
....that I don't HAVE to get frustrated when Cooper asks "why?" for the millionth time today. I GET to teach something new to a child who has the ability to learn.
....that I don't HAVE to make dinner. I GET to put a whole complete meal on the table for my family. One that is healthy and enough to make us satisfied and full - and may even have leftovers.
....that I don't HAVE to clean the house. I GET to care about the place that I live. And I'm going to remember that the place that I live is bigger and grander than the majority of people on this planet.
So, that's what I'm vowing to do today. In the day to day routines of life I get so overwhelmed with what I HAVE to do, that today I'm going to change the attitude and remember what I GET to do.
Anyone else going to join me?
