It's Monday.
And I have a massive headache that just won't go away.
But that's OK.
Today, as with every Monday, I choose to focus on the good things and blog about it.
Why?
- There's already enough negative stuff out there in the world. Why fill my mind & heart with more negativity?
- The Bible tells me to. Really, it does. Check out what Philippians 4:8 says: "Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things."
- Blogging about choosing the good on Mondays keeps me accountable to myself. It reminds me that even in the midst of the negative, the crazy, the mania, there is always something good, or beautiful, out there. I just have to look for it.
So, today, I'm focusing on the good - a quiet night at home with my husband & "kids," watching The Biggest Loser, and celebrating two wins today (I was the first place winner over at Marla Taviano's blog! And my friend Nikki won my giveaway today, and I'm happy for her.)
Tell me, what good thing are you focusing on today?

Mondays are a time for the family to sit down and enjoy some time together. It just so happens that the time is watching Monday Night Raw, but it is family time and I'm growing to love it.
Oh, wrestling! When I was little, my dad loved wrestling so we would always watch it. One of my favorite memories of him is going to see all of our favorite WWF stars wrestle live. :)
As I watch it now, I watch for the ways they create story lines, tension, teams, the bad guy, etc. There is a lot of story telling going on. It is rather obvious, but it makes it easier to learn from it that way.
