Every once in a while, I will actually catch myself being content with something that is happening. Like a day off at home to do whatever you want. Time to actually be a housewife and mom. It's nice to catch yourself being thankful! Most times I chide myself for not being more thankful, more content, more this, and more that. Too often we put ourselves down when if we just looked around at the good things that we are doing and are happening to us we might start looking at the bright side of things. Because we all know that once something is in motion it's much easier to keep it going.
But I quickly forget to keep that ball in motion as well. I rationalize away the good thoughts. I have pity parties, I get busy. Anytime we catch ourselves having a bad attitude don't forget to link it back to your focus on God. When you are in God's Word, praying and seeking Him daily, and thinking on heaven and eternity you will be thinking positively, you will be more content and thankful. Because it's God we can thank for our lives, and for the opportunities, and the lessons. It's God who has given us those thankful moments (whether you remembered to be thankful or not). When people talk about a fix all... They should be talking about God. God doesn't create perfect lives, but He does say that He will never leave us nor forsake us. Friends, trainers, or TV commercials can't promise that! Eventually your trainer will move on (especially if you don't pay them) your friends will move, turn their back on you, or just fade away, and commercials...well, they're in it for themselves; don't believe a word they say.
Don't forget God, thankfulness, phones, children, blessings, work, etc... It's a lovely life you have there.
