I chose joy
I had gotten into a huge argument with my husband last week and I kept telling myself I am not going to say or think one negative thing about him. I choose joy. I started singing out loud in the car "I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart...where? Down in my heart...where?" my children started singing along with me. My whole attitude changed and I really felt joy. I seriously have been happy ever since and my husband and I resolved things. We always do, but it was a less painful process. It is amazing what power the mind has.
I am getting very excited about our new house! I can't believe that we are already in April. I will post pics whenever we get keys. The last week of April we are going to be painting. We are going to paint a mural on one of the boys bedroom walls. We are doing a camping theme in their room so we are going to do a forest scene with a tent and campfire and a bear. It will be cute. The boys are so excited. I am going to paint the school room/play room red with black scriptures on the wall.
Anyway, we are about to go to a park that we have never been to before. The boys are very excited! Off we go!

Nice post. It reminds me of how I've come to learn that love is not a feeling, it's something you do. And how we're commanded to love, even the unlovable. When we perform acts of love for them, it becomes really difficult to continue to harbor ill feelings toward them. This really works! It sounds like what you were doing is a form of this.
