Attitude change...

So I've had a day that could be considered a page out of this book:

I won't go into details, except to say that my day involved letting down a friend and two accidents by two seperate offenders. Much like my friend, Alexander, my bad day was more in relation to my reaction to the no-good things happening. And much like Alexander, I did want to escape to Australia to get away from it all. But I sat down to check my email and found this little tidbit among other lovely things:

"Remember, a good attitude produces good results,

a fair attitude fair results, a poor attitude poor results.

We each shape our own life, and the shape

of it is determined largely by our attitude."
M. Russell Ballard

Ah, what more can I say? Shape up, Carrie! You've got a great life! Luckily you don't have gum in your hair, you didn't trip on a skateboard, you don't have a cavity (that you know of), and you don't HAVE to wear train pajamas. Luckily, your dear, sweet husband said you can go to Old Navy tonight without the kids and fill your stuff-and-save bag, and he is giving you a much needed break to type a ridiculous blog post! Maybe I won't need Australia after all...
