All about the attitude

Sometimes I have the urge to write real posts. The kind that show all of my flaws, where I talk about how hard it is to be a mom to two under two, where I complain/vent about this and that and look for the support I need to keep going. 

Other times, I want to get as far away from that as possible. I want to show the sunny bright side and document all of our happy moments as much as I can. I struggle with this, too, because I don't want to give future moms false hope and allude to this rainbow perfect world. It isn't always easy and fun, and I don't want to hide the messy parts of life.

What I always come back to is that I need to watch my attitude. When I write or talk about how hard life is, I wallow in the misery. I spend my few moments alone grumbling about the day, the bad moments, and my frustrations.

It's a fine line to walk. I don't want to appear fake with my perfect little world, but at the same time, I want to be constantly finding the joy and relishing on that more than the little things that go wrong. I've gotten so much better about letting things go and not dwelling on them. Focusing on this has made me a better person, and I hope that it's affecting the people around me positively. 

So the take away from this little thought process of mine is this: I'm going to continue to post about our lives in a positive way. Of course my life isn't perfect and of course that will show too. My focus is on the good things, God's blessings on us, His grace, the funny moments. 

I've heard that if you make yourself smile when you are upset, it makes you feel better. I like that.
