For as long as I can remember, night after night as I lay in bed waiting to fall asleep I would think about all of the things I did wrong or not good enough that day.
"I shouldn't have lost my patience with my daughters today."
"I wish my hair didn't always look like a mess by the end of the day."
"Why can't I be as fashionable as (fill in the blank)?"
"I should have said this in that conversation because what I said didn't make sense and was weird."
"I could have been more Christlike to my neighbors today."
"I need to do more creative activities with my kids."
"I didn't get nearly as much housework done today as I wanted to."
"I'm always so awkward at big gatherings."
"My piano students would have understood that musical term better if I explained it like this."
"My husband does so much more for me than I do for him."
"Why can't I just be cool?"
The list goes on and on. Well, I've decided enough is enough!!!!!!! Time to stop being negative and look at the positive things I've done. So from now on, when I find myself nitpicking and being my own worst critic, I will bust out my handy smartphone and instead record one thing I did that day that makes me super! A Super Mom, Super Friend, or just a Super Me. Because if nothing else
"I am a daughter of God who loves me, and I love him," and that alone makes me super :)
