I hope you had as lovely of a three day weekend as I did!
I have been thinking constantly thinking about the power of good. I sometimes have a tendency to focus on the bad (characteristics, options, traits, ect).
So, this month my goal is to see the good in all I do. I will even focus on the good in the most unfavorable places/things. Whenever I meet a new person, I want to see the good traits of the person. I want to focus on their kind words, happy exterior, giving heart, and all things good. Sometimes that good might be as simple as nice shoes or cute hair. Everyone (including myself) has good and bad things about them. It is so easy to focus on the negative aspects of others because, let's face it, those traits are the hardest to accept. But instead, I want to be the person who searches for the good inall. We all have good inside of us. Imagine every time you see an old friend or meet a new one, you focus onall things good.
I heard this quote at church and I really enjoyed it, "Don't let the bad make you forget about the good."
After church, I went out to a lovely little restaurant called moms. It is really quite adorable. They have pictures all around the room of local moms. They also serve some delicious food. I have been once before and ordered the burger. One of the best burgers I have ever eaten. I went their hoping to order the burger again but they were not serving it for another hour. They had a special that day of Belgium waffle. After receiving my waffle, I was quite happy I was unable to order the burger. It was out of this world delicious. My mouth is salivating just thinking of this waffle. In fact, after breakfast I was ready to go back for lunch. Speaking of, who's hungry? ;)
