Positivity






Lately, I've been reading a lot of positive psychology books, some about kiddos, some about adults, as I reevaluate what I'm doing with my life. And, I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to try my best to simply eschew putting anything more into the public domain that could be classified as gripes, complaints, rants, or negativity.  That said, we've had some great family time over the last 5 days, as Mira's flu virus (and now mine) have caused us to slow our pace.  It has reaffirmed for me that I'd like to slow our pace much more often than is the case now.  The job situation is still uncertain, but perhaps stabilizing.  I am thinking of MSW school, or potentially a credential in mediation.  At first, these were just back up plans if I got laid off, but they seem to be taking on a life of their own and I am feeling more and more like I'd really like to do both or either even if there are no layoffs.  . . .will keep folks posted--kind of thrilling and scary to think about going back to school.  Sweet photos of our weekend in are posted above!
