I’ve noticed lately that all I ever do is whine and rant about how tired I am, how hard my work is, where my sideline earnings have gone, why is it that Sandy always gets colds, etc, etc. I know it has gone really bad when The Husband, who used to be the King of Negativity, asked my why I just can’t be positive. Imagine that. So to rid myself off these negative thoughts, I’ve decided to list down the wonderful things that I’m too stubborn to notice because I was too busy looking for problems.
1. Sandy now drinks whole milk. This means her need to nurse has lessen, giving me more time to work or relax without having a little girl with sharp elbows throw herself at me so she can breastfeed nonstop.
2. She also sleeps through the night. A huge feat, this one is. I’ve been waiting for two years for this and now that it’s here, I’m too pre-occupied to be thankful. Even though I find it hard to sleep at night, at least, I can be alone with my thoughts or enjoy my sleeping time reading a book.
3. I still work from home. No commuting, no schedules, no need to get all dressed up. I can work (if Sandy lets me) and earn money without worrying about how the little girl is coping at home. I can blog, do my sideline projects and learn new technologies every day without the pressure of someone hovering behind me.
4. We have enough money to buy what we need and most of the time what we want. If you see me ranting why I can’t buy a laptop memory or hardisk, that’s just me being a penny pincher.
5. A loving and supportive husband. He doesn’t gamble, smoke, drink, cheat and the best of all, lets me handle all our money bwahahaha
6. We’re all healthy. Although we get the usual colds, headaches and get stressed every now and then, we don’t have major health problems.
Now, that wasn’t so hard. I just need to remember this everyday.
