an idea

as i was standing in the strong, blowing wind filling the car with gas, it occurred to me.  i could choose to stand tall.  to smile.  to have a good attitude.  a sweet, kind disposition.  i could choose my attitude.  and attitude goes with the other words that i've been thinking about.  a choice.  a chance to show some attitude, to have a positive attitude, to approach life from a standpoint of faith in my attitude, to look at my attitude towards others.
i'm not yet who i want to be.  and so i choose one word a year to help me on the journey.  i'm not good with resolutions.  the one word reallyhelps me though.  so, i will enjoy the search for the perfect word.
but this one seems like a good fit.  not whining.  i got told not to whine yesterday..and it reminded me to check my attitude frequently.
that was a good thing.  and then at the gas pump today it felt so right. such a good fit.
attitude.
gotta have a good one.
gotta show some.
gumption.
perseverance.
all in my attitude.
my attitude of faith.
of trust.
of kindness.
i have a long way to go.
but i have started.
so far...first choice.
blessings.
