I posted on my random blog a few times a while back about how me and my daughter were fighting a lot, or me and my husband arguing a lot, etc. I don’t know the exact date but the blog is http://btrbb.blogspot.com/ This was before I really started getting the hang of all this positive thinking and law of attraction stuff. Something I have realized lately is that my relationships are starting to change too, and definitely for the better.
My awesome brother has been calling me a lot lately and I LOVE it! I love hearing from him and I love that we get to connect like we have never connected before. This is a new thing that I hope never stops! My relationships all over, as a whole are getting stronger and better and this is what life is about, family and relationships and strong ones at that.
My daughter and I are fighting about an eighth of the time now. Don’t get me wrong, she is 4 and head strong and I am 39 and head strong but since I have been changing my attitude, so has she. It is very hard to admit that we may be the cause of negative things, but sometimes we need a reality check and my bad attitude was my reality check. I don’t want my daughter growing up thinking that a Mom and Daughter relationship is built on arguing and if I would not have made these positive changes in my life this would have been her view.
I called my husband last night while he was driving to stupid Cleveland for work (sorry Cleveland followers but it takes him away 2 days a week so that is what we call it). I guess this is another thing I need to work on a change next right, my Cleveland attitude? Well later for that, but back to the phone call.
Last night I just felt inclined to call my hubby and tell him that I wanted him to know how much I appreciated him and everything he does for us. There was nothing traumatic or horrible that happened that made me want to tell him that, it was just a good time to tell him. He was taken back a bit and I think he was waiting for a…BUT…but there was no but in my sentence, I just wanted him to know. The sound of his voice was very cool to hear and I knew that he was a bit taken back of my randomness and it felt great knowing that I was able to share this with him as it means a lot to me to make sure he knows how much he means to me.
My new goal in life is to make sure I let those people I love know daily how much they mean to me and not wait for something sad or tragic happen to open up to them. This doesn’t mean I am going to go all smother crazy but it will not hurt to just add a little note in a lunch or something like that every now and then to let them know how they add value in my life. If I do this then I know I will get it back and how cool is that!

You are so right. Attitude has everything to do with everything and anything...LOL!
I am so glad that you are changing by trying to keep positive. I struggle with this a lot but I know that I need to make more of an effort to try!
