I wrote a journal a couple of days ago about all the things I hate. Really, I was feeling majorly bummed out and needed to wallow in it. And wallow, I did. Oh, boy. Like a pig!

Anyhow, things have turned around a little bit, and I thought I'd try to balance out that overly negative journal with a positive one. I'm all about the balance, I am. So...

I love that I know right where my family is going to live at the end of the month!

I love being accepted.

I love that I realize that MY own acceptance of myself is more important than that of anyone else.

I love being surprised by some really great news!

I love that I've got a husband who is more than willing to work very hard every day to provide for the family we've created together.

I love to see the look on his face when our children tackle him to the ground and tickle him, or when he's taught one of them how to ride a skateboard, or when he's kissing an owie one of them has... I'm a very lucky woman to have such a wonderful, loving man as my partner.

I love that when my kids act up, I have the presence of mind to stop and calm down before dealing with it. Most of the time!

I love that my oldest son brags to his classmates about how awesome his Mom is!

I love that I am able to cry when I need to.

I love that my Mother is so willing, at the drop of a hat, to offer shelter and protection to me and my children. I am blessed with the best Mom in the world.

I love that my husband and I are willingly taking responsibility for our honest mistakes, rather than uselessly pointing our fingers.

I love that I've got wonderful friends who remind me that stability is not found under a roof, but rather in the love that we have for one another.

I love that I don't lash out in anger. I innately understand that doing the right thing, even when it's the hardest path to take, is the only way to behave.

I love that so many people I meet are trusting and flexible. Those people more than make up for the folks who are rigid and untrusting.

I love that my children are excited to make new friends in the new neighborhood, and that our friends from this neighborhood will still be our friends, if not our neighbors.

I am a bit abashed that I allowed myself to get so down in the dumps recently. However, I am glad that I allowed myself to truly feel the desperation and anger and worry and resentment. It's a good thing in this life to be familiar with my emotions - even the ugly ones. It makes me truly appreciate the 95% of the time that I feel content, and happy, and thankful, and fulfilled. Life is unpredictable. When I feel those feelings again, I will be familiar with how to process them.

I love that good things really do happen to good people.

I love that I have learned from feeling powerless recently, and that I have taken steps towards being more in control of my own financial decisions once again.

I love that for every dishonest person I have met in this life, there are twice as many honest, true people whom I love and respect... and who love and respect me.

I still don't like language barriers, but I understand that that a barrier of any kind is just an opportunity for change.

I love that I am willing to take the first step towards overcoming a language barrier, and that most people I have met who speak a different language, can communicate at least a little bit with a smile.

Yeah.
