Lately, it seems I have had a negative attitude about life and my role etc. I spend a lot of time feeling sorry for myself. My poor husband only hears about how much weight I am gaining, or how tiring it is to be a mom (especially to McKenzie- our crazy kid who goes from 0 to 60 the instant she wakes up). I also complain about how I am sick of being sick, or how I am tired of my church calling, or how much I miss running on my own (without the jogging stroller). Poor me. I know.
I finally had an "ah ha" moment the other day. I think the warmer weather had something to do with it. I know it is elementary and may sound really dumb, but I finally decided that I must change my attitude. When I find myself slipping back into my funk, I remember this feeling and moment when all became clear. Attitude is the way you mentally look at the world around you. It is how you view your environment and your future. So here's to having a positive attitude. I am going to keep chasing the sun.

Awesome picture...awesome post. We all can use a reminder once in a while to readjust our attitude. Love you sis!
Brooke,
I think every mom goes through these little 'funks'. Especially when pregnant! Not to worry--you ARE a very positive person! And believe it or not SOMEDAY you will be running alone and you will actually miss the days you ran with the kids! Besides jogging stroller = extra calories burned!
Love, Summer
that picture gave me cold chills...I totally hear you, and I too find myself in that same mind set.
Thanks for the thought, and thanks for being such a good friend.
ps...where did you find that picture, I'd love that in my house someday/NOW :O)
"Chasing the sun"...I love that!
Thanks for sharing that. I LOVE the picture. How beautiful. I'd like to have that in my house, as well. It is totally normal to get in those funks. We all do. Life is a roller coaster ride. Sometimes I have to remind myself that it is a choice to be happy, and sometimes, it takes work:)!
I'm so glad that we are cousins Brooke! You're awesome.
chasing the sun - i love that too!
Yeah, thanks Brooke. I needed to be reminded of that too.
Rock on girl! Isn't it awesome when our perception shifts like that. I love it.
