Turn the Thought Around

I woke up in a bad mood. I have been overwhelmed, drained, and needing for personal care time. I just woke up feeling already defeated. My fiancé forgot to do the dinner dishes so I walked into a completely messy kitchen to clean before I could even make breakfast. And negative thoughts easily spiral. One leads to another and another. My mind summons offenses that happened in the past just to have something to keep feeding the negativity.

I started crying, and my little boy looked at me and said "I love you momma" and gave me a hug. And that simple act of love gave me pause to examine my thoughts and surround the negativity with love and grace. And I feel better. Not like I want to do cartwheels and everything is sunshine and rainbows. But I feel safe, and secure knowing that whatever is going on I can influence change with my choices. And my first choice is to choose to think constructive thoughts. But I it, sometimes I need help making that choice, and I am thankful for all the people in my life who remind me, especially my son...

there is ALWAYS love :heart:
