Moments for April 16

Talk about a hard day to start this journey.  Not much in the way of great things happened today.  I had high hopes of cleaning the backyard and being so productive today.  But the heat sucked my energy out of me.  I ended up hanging out most of the day.  My tummy felt yucky and so squished, my lungs couldn't get enough air all day.  Being 7 months pregnant will do that to you.  So it was actually a bit of a challenge to find my moments today. 

First One: I woke up earlier then expected this morning and I actually felt good.  The chickens were making a huge racket so I went to check it out.  I didn't get upset by this, which is a good thing.  One of the hens had gotten out and the others were yelling at her.  Jealous.

I took care of them and headed back inside feeling wide awake.  I could have gone back to bed, but I chose to make the most of the quiet time and get the day started on a good note. I even went walking with a friend and that was nice.  I felt happy about my choices.

Second One:  I finished the book I was reading.  It came in the mail yesterday (always fun to get a package) and I started it immediately.  The title is "Portal to Genius" by Leslie Householder. 


I have read two of her other books, "Jackrabbit Factor"


and "Hidden Treasures: Heaven's Astonishing Help with Your Money Matters".


All three books are so amazing and life changing.  They all deal with making the law of attraction work for you, especially from a religious stand point.  I highly recommend them to anyone searching to make a difference in any aspect of their life.  They are truly inspirational.  I recommend getting Portal to Genius first, it includes the Jackrabbit Factor in it.  Here is her website.   http://www.thoughtsalive.com/

Something I Like About Myself:  I thought about this one a lot today.  It isn't always the easiest thing to come up with.  Today I am grateful that my body is strong enough to carry and grow this child.


I am not the healthiest person, nor in the best shape of my life.  So I know this pregnancy could be a lot harder on me.  So far my body has handled it pretty well.  I like that while I am pregnant I feel my body is strong and amazing.

Julieann Hanson shared this blog with me since she thought it might help me with my own struggles. I think it is a great idea! It is easy to forget what goes right, when I have had successes, and see the little victories and progress. This blog is a lovely reminder to look for the good. I love Leslie Householder's writing too - it has helped me a lot.

Alysia, thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you continue to check in here and feel free to share any happiness moments. Or if you need to vent, I completely understand that too. :)
