I'm Still on "The Positive Thoughts In and Words Out" Kick
by Mama Pig 
It has been strangely quiet around here today. I'm still on my "only positive thoughts in and only positive words out" kick. One thing I am positive about; I am going to do serious harm to that child if he doesn't get in line soon. Whitney and I had a lovely time this afternoon. She decided it would be fun to help me cook dinner. I loved every second of it because it gave us a chance to spend some quality time together. That girl is becoming an amazing young woman and I am so proud to be her mother. I love spending time with her, she is so funny.
I find myself in a really good spot right now. I'm focused on making some positive changes and I can see the good it is doing for the kids. Caleb is much more acceptable to changes in his routine and Emily is always just an angel. The other kids are reacting positively too. I'm starting to see everyone's attitude just a bit less on edge and I am hoping that this continues.
Yes, I am still having issues with Josh. That is something that no amount of positive changes is going to help. Therapy is what is needed and I am hoping to get that going soon. The good thing is my reactions have changed and I am at peace.
Hubby is still not sure how to respond to me at times. He is so accustomed to me being in a high level of stress that he is often taken aback at my calm reactions. Oh, I have my moments, but I have them alone so that it is not an issue in the house. I find my moments coming less and less though, so something must be working.
Do you believe that positive thoughts and words have power? Have you ever tried this before?

- About Me: Hello everyone. I am Mama Pig. I am a very busy mom of eight children. Five by birth and three my marriage. While it is a busy life, it is one I wouldn't change for the world. Our oldest is 18 and will be graduating in May. We are even in the boys/girls department with four each. Two just turned 14, two just turned 12, one will be 10 this year, and the babies are 4 and 2. There are no twins in the mix, just step siblings that happen to be close in age. You will read alot about Down syndrome when you read my blog. Our youngest daughter was born with Down syndrome as well as a congenital heart defect. These are two issues I am extremely passionate about. I just resumed classes at the local community college. My goal is to someday reach law school with the hopes of focusing on family law.

You're doing great!
I definitely think positive words and actions and a generally positive attitude makes everything much better! I can give an example... When I'm sad sometimes, my boyfriend forces me to laugh by being ridiculous and saying funny things. I go along with this and laugh even when I don't feel like it. But pretty soon all those endorphins (yay!) start building up and I start actually feeling happy, and like I really do want to laugh... and then when that happens, it's awesome. I'm not sad anymore, but quite happy. So it's definitely a good thing.
I absolutely believe that positive words and thoughts have power. It's all about loving others - not just the warm fuzzy love, but the action form of love too. That changes people. If you haven't seen it yet, the movie Fireproof is a good example of what can happen when you love someone regardless of how they feel about you. I need to try being more loving toward my husband all the time. Thanks for the reminder!
I definitely believe 100% that positive thoughts and words have power. I know firsthand because I'm actually in the same frame of mind as you. I've started the whole "positive" everything lately too and I've seen an amazing change. Not only in myself and my attitude but my family's as well, which is always a good thing. Keep up the awesomeness!!
I truly believe that your attitude sets the tone for the situation. It's hard to keep the positivity going all the time, especially in difficulty, but it's always worth a shot.
