Thinking, Playing, Reading

Thinking:

There is nothing that has helped me more this last year than keeping a gratitude journal.  Yes, you hear it suggested a million times over, but I will admit it’s absolutely true.  On days when I forget or don’t make time, I can tell my spirit pays a price.  One thing that helped me is reading that it does not matter if you write the same thing every single day, just start, it will get easier because you will start seeing things differently-appreciation grows.

Playing:

Janey has been loving having her own “homework” (funny how different kids are-her brother is horrified that she might like doing school work outside of school!)

Kumon Workbooks

She is using this book right now and thankfully I have a few more on hand, because she goes through them quickly.

Reading:

The Extraordinary Life Of Sam Hell

Just finished this. A great book, easy read, loved the mother in this book and her attitude towards her son’s difference and how that impacted him for life.

My list of books to read keeps getting longer and longer-winter will be for catching up!
