Attitude
>> Saturday, April 19, 2008
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company ... a church ... a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude ... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me, and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you ... we are in charge of our Attitudes.

Today was a very long day. My feet are swollen and my body hurts. I feel disabled. And I have 17 weeks left(14 if I am 3 weeks early). My attitude could be better. When I heard this quote I loved it. One day I came home and found it on my pillow. Wayne was kind enough to make a copy of it for me. I read this every day in hopes that my attitude will improve. I beleive in the power of our subconscious mind and how it will change you for the good or bad. I am very blessed to have my 6th baby and would go through anything to bring a child into the world.

I love that quote too. Cute blog! I want to come see that cupcake pan- do they really turn out like that?
That's a great quote--who is the author? I definitely need a better attitude when it comes to my present ward... it's just nowhere near as cozy as the last. Love the toenails!
Welcome to the blogging world!!! Congrats on your pregnancy now that your almost done! You really do look cute even if your feet are super swollen. We really do love our memories and pictures we had with you guys at Aspen Grove. We definately need to plan a time to be there with you guys again!!!
You are such a great Mother! This baby is lucky to have you as a Mom
Good quote Melaine! You always have a good attitude... I always look at you and think, I guess its possible to have a bunch of kids and a clean house too (good inspiration for me!)
