School is starting and I missed being in our old house
Missed being close enough to walk the kids to school
Missed having extra time this morning to go for a cup of coffee with the other moms
Today I read a note my brother sent about a challenge that he has for himself from his readings by Dr. Wayne Dyer.
The title character is Pollyanna Whittier, a young orphan who's philosophy of life centers on what she calls "The Glad Game," an optimistic attitude she learned from her father. The game consists of finding something to be glad about in every situation. It originated in an incident one Christmas when Pollyanna, who was hoping for a doll in the missionary barrel, found only a pair of crutches inside. Making the game up on the spot, Pollyanna's father taught her to look at the good side of things—in this case, to be glad about the crutches because "we don't need 'em!"
So, in the "glad game" essense - I'm glad that school is starting today
Glad to be back in a routine
Glad to have found a house to rent in our same neighborhood, so the kids can go to the same school
Glad to have a job that I can go to each morning
Glad for my family
Glad to have a loving God
and glad to have a tiny bit of faith that everything will work out.
Keep the faith! Wendy
