Positivity

     Lately, the little man has been sick.  Even tho he has his whiny times, He seems to excude this positivity.  Maybe it is because he trusts us to help him get better... maybe it's just his temperment.  I am thankful for his more often than not positive attitude. 
     I don't think most people realize how easily things in life can be turned around with a little positivity.  I used to be soooo negative when I first joined the military.  One day I had a wake up call from a certain SGT.  After that, I had a goal in mind to write a journal entry a day of something nice and positive that I did that day.  The first entries went like this "Said hello and smiled at someone I didn't know.  He looked confused at first, but seemed to smile afterwards."  and "Drove PVT Mcgee to PT with me this morning, tho she is a bit annoying.  It was too cold to let her walk."
     After a few weeks of this, it all became a habit.  I do these things without thinking of them.  I love to see that my soldiers come into my office upset, but leave happier.  I hope that my positivity will continue to spread to my son.  I love that through my actions of helping others and doing things around the house inspire him to do the same.  After all, all we can really do as parents is to be the best example as possible and help our children be the best they can.

Husband

     I haven't written on here in a LONG time.  Today I am thankful for my sweet Husband.  Today he helped our boy, who was sick. :( But at least our son wanted to snuggle more than usual.

"Are you my friend?" He asks me.
"Yes, I am.  But I'm Momma first." 

     My wonderful Hubby took care of me this week as well.  I didn't feel good and he brought me dinner in bed.  Then I got to go to sleep at 7 pm.  It was great to get some much needed sleep in.  He truly is a great blessing to our family.

Day #122

I know I mention medicine here and there, but today I am thankful for nerve medicine.  I have cubital tunnel syndrome in both of my elbows.  It's is just like carpel tunnel except the location is not the wrist.  I basically have a constant pain in my lower arms from the inner elbow down to the last two fingers.  This physical training I'm doing is not helping at all.  What a relief when I took this nerve medicine!! It stopped hurting and I was able to keep going in my training.

Day #121

I finally got my new removable bottom retainer today from the dentist.  I know it is so silly to be thankful for that but here is why.  I use to have a permanent retainer cemented to the back of my bottom teeth.  I could not floss or clean behind there.  It was making my teeth become unhealthy, even though they were straight.  This new retainer will keep my teeth straight and I can take it out to make sure my teeth are nice and clean.  And since I had the molds done to make the retainer and now getting it... OUCH my teeth have moved and now they hurt from the retainer moving them back.

Day #120

I'm so thankful to see progress in my working out.  I had to take the Army Physical Fitness Test this morning.  On my last test I got a 147.  I just wasn't in good shape (by my standards of course).  Today's test showed that I increased my score by 20 points!!! It wasn't as high as I wanted but I feel good that it is higher than last time. YAY!!!

Day #119

I am starting Modern Army Combatives Level One today. It is a voluntary class for me in the Army.  I'm tired already. haha But so far we are going over the things that we already learned in basic training.  By the end I should be able to take people down and hold my own in a fight (until back up comes haha). I think it is fun.  I'm not the strongest or biggest person, but this is good to help me be better. We even have two Air Force guys in the class.  I'm thankful for the opportunity I have to take this class and challenge myself
