Excited about the day! EXCITED ABOUT LIFE!

I just realized something!  Today I get to do many new things in my regular schedule,  and I am really excited!  When I run this morning I get to try out my new Nike Free Run+ shoes.  I get to meet a friend for lunch that I haven't seen in what seems like years.  I get to school supply shop with my daughter, whom still likes to do this together even though she is in college.  I get to stare my fear of heights in the face today with indoor rock climbing!   This one, well, it gives me butterflies!  All I can say is "BRING IT ON!"
I love and enjoy my life.  How do you look at your life?  Do you tell yourself "today I HAVE to?" or "today I GET to!"  What are you telling yourself about your crazy, busy life?  Do you look at your schedule and go out of your mind with  "how am I going to fit in a walk?" or "I don't have time to cook!"
Our life is what we make of it.  No, we can't control all things and quiet frankly, who wants to?  But what we can control is our mindset which in turn has an affect on our mood.  How does your mindset help you maintain or work toward living a healthy lifestyle?  If you don't like your answer because it seems negative, then start working on it today.  Fill your mind with phrases that are happy, positive and encouraging.  Want to try something that I feel really helps?  Start speaking those phrases to other people. WOW, now that really makes the heart and mind happy!
"I get to"
"I like to"
"I did it"
"You look great"
"I love your (shoes,shirt, earrings)"
Last but not least, be THANKFUL!
