I've been very careful about our budget this last year and a half. I've been on time with bills and kept us happily afloat without too much struggle. In September, we had to take a few more days off than we expected and that seemed to put is in a bit of a bind. So, last week, when I thought we'd be struggling a bit at the end of this week to cover our bills, I figured I'd have to call for 7 day extensions and do my best to balance everything. Then today I finally put myself to task and I was quietly rewarded with more than what I thought we'd had in the bank, and I wasn't as behind as I thought. I've been more on top of the budget than I realized and it was a blessing in disguise, or in plain sight, I was just too busy with kids and house and schedules to sit and to figure it all out. On Saturday last, as soon as I worried it might be an issue, I also decided to let go, and trust that because of how hard I've been working, how diligent and consistent I've been, that I will be patient, not stress and do what needed to get done, and somehow we'd be okay.
You know what?
We are, and always have been, and always will be, as long as we have faith knowing no matter what, it is so. I choose to think this way... I choose to not let stress and outward issues put me in a negative mindset.
It was a good week, and at the end of it, I'm better off than I started. I attest this to the power of positive thinking. I've been choosing to be positive, and to look forward, not back. And I don't stress out as much. It's been really good. And even when the chips are down and I see nothing but bleak outcomes, I am choosing to shrug off what I cannot control. Things will happen as they intend to, and I don't have to let it ruin me emotionally. It's been a good week.
I will worry about tomorrow when it comes. Right now, I set myself to dream softly in the comfort of my bed and choose to live quietly.
