Hits and Misses

I was reading a friends blog, Ryan and Crystal Miller. I really like her post today. I haven't read all the past posts. But I really enjoyed reading about the hits and the misses...more so the hits! :) Thanks Crystal for giving me the idea!

I feel like I have a tendency to focus a little too much on the misses in life and not NEARLY enough time on the hits. Justin mentioned that I have seemed down lately, and it has really gotten me thinking about why I am down. Anyway, that aside, I wanted to change something in my life and I think right now the thing I should focus on is actually focusing more on the Hits in my life, and a little less on the misses, while still acknowledging them! Misses suck, but they do happen, and it is important to acknowledge them. But the Hits are so much better! So anyway, here is the start of my new weekly challenge!

This weeks Hits
1. Jaicie came home today to tell me her teacher wanted her to tell me she was reading on the third grade level! Holy Cow...the kids in kindergarten, where did that come from, really.
2. Along with that, Jaicie is up to chapter 5 in a simplified and condensed version of Alice in Wonderland--Up to the Cheshire Cat.
3. I bought a little flower pot today to grow a sunflower...A little kit from the dollar section at Target! LOVE IT!
4. Felicity stayed dry all day today! Yes, the whole day!
5. Collin finished a whole bottle tonight!
6. I got to talk to my brother Kevin yesterday.
7. I actually cleaned my living room floor of all the tiny things that Collin wants to stick in his mouth!
8. The flowers blooming on the awesome trees here in Lubbock. They are beautiful! Maybe a picture will come soon!
9. My sore throat is ALMOST all the way gone!
10. The kids are ALL HEALTHY!
and a Bonus! 11. Justin's hair is really soft and his hair is growing back quickly! (he shaved his head on Saturday for a fundraiser and it looks good!)

And the Misses
1. My car got a little scratch at Target or the mall today...
2. We had leftovers 2 different days this week. YUCK!
3. My kitchen is a huge disaster...
4. I didn't enjoy the AMAZING weather we had this week, and now it is gone again!
5. I hurt my shin at the gym yesterday, but hey I went.

And one more hit...I can't think of any other misses right now. I am sure there are some, but I can't think of them right now. That is good. See focusing on the Hits is a much better approach to life!

If you so feel...you are welcome to share your weekly hits and misses as comments...Even if you want to do it anonymously. So hopefully, I will be able to share some hits and misses with you all each week. Even if it is just for me, it is therapeutic nonetheless!
