Here we are on Ash Wednesday.  As you may have read yesterday my two Lenten promises are 1.) Give up diet coke and 2.) Give up the scale.  I decided to give up the scale because every morning when I step on it, I feel depressed, discouraged, and beaten.  I was thinking that if God gave his only son for me, and loves me so much, does he want me beating myself up daily?  I decided that he does not!  So, no more scale for 40 days (sorry for the over simplification of theology :)Anyways, I also mentioned in my last blog that a study has shown that women think 300 words a minute.  And sadly, most of those words we are saying in our head are NOT positive.  So, in partnership with my Lenten journey I decided to intentionally participate in thinking about POSITIVE words.  Today, I decided I would share 300 words of YES!Here I go...- I am healthy and happy.- I am getting wealthier each day.- My body is healthy and functioning in a very good way.- I have a lot of energy.- My mind is calm.- I radiate love and happiness.- I am surrounded by love.- I have the perfect job for me.- I have good and loving relations with my husband.- I have a wonderful and satisfying job.- I am successful in whatever I do.- Everything is getting better every day.I am….happy, loving, giving, cheerful, joyful, peaceful.I love. I simplify. I challenge.  I believe. I hope. I care.  I live. I am here. Things that make me smile: my husband, my kids, sunshine on my face, wind in my hair.I am grateful. I am thankful.  I am blessed!(300 words)
