On Facebook, I have a friend that has been counting down the days until Christmas since September. It wasn't until today it really hit me that we have only 48 days left! Wow, where did year go?
It really has been a year in the Frugoli household. This year has taught us many things, many of them are just about our attitude. Lot's of things have changed and if anyone who knows me "change" is not something that I embrace always.
Our attitude is really the only thing that we can control. I once heard the quote "thoughts become things," over this year I have realised how much this is true.
I am starting to believe that things happen to us for a reason; this also means the people that come in and out of our lives are for a reason too. (Even when we really question why?)
We have a great feeling about 2010, a new year, a brand new decade, starting out fresh. The important thing is to stay positive, think about the best possible outcome, not the worst.
How do we change out thoughts? Me, for example, decided that I was done watching the news. The news folks understand that negative news sells. Does this mean that I am completely out of touch what is going on in current events, no.
For instance, yesterday, at my night school class I heard some awful news about a military base. People will tell you the things that are going on, why waste so much energy on negativity? It has really helped me keep a positive mindset.
Best wishes,
Adam
