Reframing
I was thinking as I was walking today, as I often do, about all the things that I have to do this weekend. Then I wondered why I was thinking of them as the things I have to do? Couldn't I reframe things that I get to do? Instead of I can't believe I have to walk Phog when it's 10 degrees outside, how about how fortunate am I that I can get out and walk in the sunshine. On a side note, thank God for having warm mittens. Instead of I can't believe that I have to write this paper or career development, how about how nice is it that I get to take the time to analyze my career path? I can't change the things that I need to do, but I can change how I feel about the and what I get out of the opportunity.

I sometimes struggle too, with walking in the cold, but try to listen for the birds, and take in the sun (if there is any)and anything else that nature wants to show me. I definitely thank God that I am able to walk and not housebound, or handicapped... It's not always easy to look at the positives, but it's worth it when we do!
