She said the main difference there is the focus on relationships, because for some people, that's literally *all* they have, and they make the most of their friends and family.Lucy @ Smallest Smallholdinghttp://www.smallestsmallholding.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29284826.post-22291867177974107502010-07-14T22:58:07.437+01:002010-07-14T22:58:07.437+01:00Got is such an ugly sounding word anyway.

So it's triply pleasing to see you decide to dispense with "I've got". :DStoneheadhttp://stonehead.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29284826.post-64283162626648535772010-07-11T19:51:38.027+01:002010-07-11T19:51:38.027+01:00My life got so much better when I started thanking...My life got so much better when I started thanking God for all that he gives me.<br /><br />I'm thankful for a job to go to and the ability to work hard whilst there.<br /><br />I'm thankful for a nice sized house that's big enough for all of us to have space to live comfortably. And I'm thankful that I don't have a bigger house so I can afford to pay the mortgage.<br /><br />I'm thankful for having a wonderful family.<br /><br />It makes such a difference when I'm positive about all I have and I am really very blessed because as you rightly point out, we have so much.<br /><br />EmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29284826.post-63293248075701152462010-07-09T12:33:36.901+01:002010-07-09T12:33:36.901+01:00This seems such a simple shift in the way of think...This seems such a simple shift in the way of thinking about something but it has really made me have an 'AHA' moment.

A similar, albiet smaller, shift occurred for me when I started teaching myself, instead of "I haven't had/got time for X to say, "I haven't carved out time for X." It helps me remember that I DO get to choose how I spend my time, and to take responsibility for the ways in which my schedule does, or does not, reflect the people and pursuits abotu which I care the most.MaineCelthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06318937035647123010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29284826.post-58087774062590232492010-07-08T12:06:22.301+01:002010-07-08T12:06:22.301+01:00Ah Mel - you never fail to inspire me.
