I am happy for the reminder to think affirmative thoughts not negative with 'don'ts'...I had forgotten how my brain works!Chrystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05593326739702852005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037843510946990879.post-71692084274960059162009-03-13T22:37:00.000-06:002009-03-13T22:37:00.000-06:00Jenny, Thanks for the example!

It's been harder than I thought. But it has also been good for me because if nothing else, I stop for a second to form my "positive" sentence, and in that second I'm able to calm down more and things don't seem like such a big deal. Thanks!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04127419513328001783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037843510946990879.post-55509368894884001912009-03-13T09:07:00.000-06:002009-03-13T09:07:00.000-06:00A corollary thought is the idiom "You catch more f...A corollary thought is the idiom "You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar."GardenGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18380800799938491551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037843510946990879.post-78549983305031159882009-03-11T07:44:00.000-06:002009-03-11T07:44:00.000-06:00Laresa, Good example!

The Lifeguard doesn't stop the kids by saying "Don't Run". I always hear the Lifegaurd say "Please walk". I always try to think of positive ways I can put things to my boys too.campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08703340052065631207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037843510946990879.post-45677154525579200802009-03-10T23:43:00.000-06:002009-03-10T23:43:00.000-06:00Sherrie, this was a great post.

They want a returned missionary sister to speak on missionary work and one of my home teachers is the one going on the mission. I'm actually looking forward to the opportunity, believe it or not. Things have really improved for me and I'm so thankful to be able to start giving back. I'm planning to mention your blog briefly in my talk. I hope that's okay. :)Wendihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05182455822784592676noreply@blogger.com
