YAY ME!

Last week I went to the store and picked up so many vegetables! Honestly, my kids have never had such a healthy diet before - EVER! As a studio owner, we basically lived off of fast food options and trips to El Torito (which was right next door). Now that our studio has closed I find myself cooking and cleaning WAY more then ever before. I also find that there's just so much time in the day, but still not enough hours to get everything done. 

Well, after buying all these vegetables, I told my oldest daughter I was going to make a soup. She was surprisingly happy about the thought of soup (weird) and even picked the day I was going to cook. Wednesday came around and if I'm being completely honest- I really didn't feel like making a soup- there's just so many other 'things' I could be doing. BUT I took an hour and prepped this beautiful soup- put all the ingredients in the crockpot and finished the assignment I committed to. 

YAY ME!

Now I'm left with an additional 'thing' I did today- WHOA, my mind kinda blew up for a moment. A simple hour, gave me a whole extra 'thing'. Naturally, I'm going to do my work, I'm going to fold some laundry, I'm going to tend to mom-duties, etc... but when a little extra time creates this whole extra 'thing' to be proud of- WHOA, it now became so worth it!

Am I the only one who gets excited when my day is filled with productivity? Seriously- every time I have a super productive day I feel on top of the world! 

I have also noticed a little trend. When my mind is focused on positive, centered around God, filled with praise and thanksgiving- productivity happens. OK, so- simple math:

Staying Positive + Living in Gratitude + Continued Praise = Super Productivity

Got it! It's no wonder why scripture always reminds us to GIVE THANKS!
