Remember the Good, Let Go of the Bad

On Friday I mentioned my recent trip to "paradise" with my family. It was indeed a lovely vacation - mostly.

Unfortunately, the last 2 days of our wonderful vacation were filled with stress and difficult feelings from a situation that we really had no control over. We all came home exhausted, stressed out, and focusing on how our vacation ended.

This leads me to today's blog post. Remembering the good, and letting go of the bad. It certainly is difficult to look back on that week and not think about the way it ended. Sadly though, it's easy to forget about the 5 GREAT days we did have!

Life is like that. If you do 10 things right and 1 thing wrong in a day, which one do you remember? Same things as this. So what can you do? For us, we are focusing on remembering all the wonderful things we did get to enjoy, and all the quality time we spent together. What a shame it would be to waste that experience by letting the negative thoughts take them over.

It's not easy, I'll admit. It is, however, so important to help us keep a positive attitude every day. Let go of the bad things that happened to you, the things that didn't go the way you wanted, and hang on to all the things that went right.
