How funny to read this post today. I just posted at least 2 complete venting/whiny posts on my own blog. Because it is not widely read, I decided it would be better to let it all out and put it somewhere, in the hopes I could be more positive other places. I truly do want to focus on the gifts of this season and in my life, but some times it's hard to get my whiny butt out of my whiny rut! I'm glad I'm not alone in some feelings! Kudos to you for aiming to be more positive! StorkWatchers last blog post..Happy Holiday Moments

That sounds like a great idea. I think we can all use that reminder to stop whining about what’s going wrong and focus on what’s going right. Your willingness to share both is what makes this blog so interesting to read but, especially now, it’s important to remember how lucky we are and all that we have to be grateful for. Thank you for the reminder, and I hope your positive thinking leads to a wonderful and very happy week!

I will join you in your positive focus this week. It is easy for me to get caught up in my venting and negative on my personal blog as I don’t vent enough in my offline life. I put up a huge big front and help everyone else with their problems. Thus the blog is more negative than I actually am.

I read your personal post and I have no words that can help you as I have never been there. But know that there is nothing wrong with your feelings, as they are your’s. They only thing that could be wrong is not sharing your emotions with your hubby, he needs to know exactly how you feel and to be prepared for it to happen each year. He’ll be there when you need him most, but he may need that extra nudge to know when that is. lol

It’s always a better week when they are home. I didn’t sign up to be a single Mom, even though that is what I am now so many days a week. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t take him away from his calling for ANYTHING IN THE WORLD, but it is a lot of work for me as well.

Positive thoughts for all of us this week and lots of hugs to you!

What a great blog post! I’m finding that in a chaotic month (5 family birthdays along with all the usual Christmas festivities!) I’m making time to stop, catch my breath and reflect, rather than rush headlong through the days in a panic! Thank you for the boost

Last month I started writing a post every Sunday listing ten things I am grateful for that happened that week. I was only planning on doing it through Thanksgiving but I enjoyed it so much I have continued to do it. Check us out!!!!!

I posted a thankfuls list in my LJ last night, but thankfulness is something that bears repeating!

I am thankful for time with my husband, for the amazing little man we created together (with whom I was due at this time last year!), for more financial security than we’ve ever had, for feeling cheerful during this holiday season, and for friends near and far, local and virtual.

Life is, indeed, good.

I am grateful:
- for my husband, for the love and support he gives me. I truly couldn’t survive without him.
- that we got the extra time we have with my cousin Erin.
- that my grandmother passed peacefully with all those who love her around her.
- for Christmastime with my husbands family in Illinois.
- for my house – this year will be our one year anniversary in the house!
- for friends who make me feel like I’m not nuts or insane or alone in this world.
