ENOUGH IS ENOUGH - I AM OVER IT!!

Do you let the small things steal your joy?  I was listening to Joel this morning and a lot of people let the simplest of things make them angry and irritated for the entire day, but did you know you have a choice?  You can not let those things steal your joy.  

For example, you see someone take your parking spot and immediately you want to blow your horn, shake your fist, and give them a piece of your mind - at least I do! LOL BUT...you can give them the spot and go about your day feeling grateful, happy, and by you not allowing that incident steal your joy...I promise you will have a better day! 

Yesterday I made a post on my page about people fighting, arguing, and acting like fools on social media.  They go on there looking for a fight and I am like WHY? 

What do you gain?  NOTHING!!

Because they are going to think what they are going to think and your opinion will not change that. 

What did you lose?  A LOT!! 

YOU WASTED TIME fighting with people you don't know or maybe you did know, but it doesn't matter, because you still wasted the time.  Do you realize that?  What could you have been doing? 

Enjoying time with family and kids!  

You want to know what I did yesterday evening? 

We ate dinner as a family, went outside and played with water guns and got each other dripping wet and you know what...WE LAUGHED...WE HAD A BALL!! 

While somebody else was trolling their feed and commenting their two cents on everything and getting their blood pressure up over the nonsense.  That doesn't sound very fun does it?  

So yeah...don't give the news, social media, bullies, and people that you don't agree with YOUR JOY!!  

I usually come to my groups on Facebook, the school page for updates for Shawn, and my page to post something, but here lately my feed is filled with hatred, arguments, people thinking they are experts and let me say this...YOU ARE NO EXPERT ...Only God has control and he will lead you through this mess but we got to stop trying to control other peoples thoughts and opinions on things. 

I actually got so down when I pulled it up that I started to un-follow, unfriend, and definitely unlike pages, like the news for all this drama.  I am sorry my time with my family is worth more than what they are blasting out there. 

So my advice is this...the news media, bullies who think they are right, and people who just want to argue, will steal your joy!  I promise it will.  Don't feed into it...don't give it your energy because in the end...only God knows what is going to happen. 

I hope you have a fantastic week ahead!  We are actually going to Stonewall Jackson Resort next week and do some fishing!  LOL A little mini get-a-way for our family is exactly what we want and need! 

Please enjoy the good life, the good people, and surround yourself with positive people!!   Because thoughts are things and the more you think negatively, the more it brings you down.  Ever read The Secret!?  I highly recommend...it will change your thought process and mindset for sure!!
