I've needed an attitude adjustment and I finally got one! I've been dealing with a bad attitude. The really bad thing is it's been mine. When my father died I didn't get to take time to grieve. All of a sudden I was the adult, the responsible one. My Mom was with us and I was the one making decisions, paying the bills, finalizing details, canceling things, putting my name on Mom's accounts and taking over things I don't really want to be responsible for! How's that for being honest?!
This past Tuesday I decided to start one of the days I "had" to spend with Mom differently. I called her singing, Good morning, good morning, the best to you this morning, good morning, good morning to you." Then when I picked her up we had a really nice day, we went to her two appointments, had lunch, shopped, and ended the day having sundaes, then buying ice cream for home. When I arrived at my home I got a phone call from her. She called to tell me she really enjoyed our day. I realized it was probably the first one she'd enjoyed in a while since I was in a much better mood than usual.
Thank you Lord for helping me realize that I was really only hurting myself (and my Mother) by having a poor attitude. I too enjoyed the day. We are spending tomorrow together also and I plan on enjoying it also!
