I have written about a half a dozen different blogs posts in my head this week. One about how I am doing better with my battle of the clothing, one about friendships and one about community. I’ve written one about social media, one about my bucket list, and one about laundry and I even thought about doing one as a video asking for advice on what to blog about. This is none of those. Because what I am today, still, is frustrated at myself. I have said this blog is going to help me process and it is part of my journey to marvelous. So instead of accepting frustration for the moment, I instead am choosing joy and going to list things in my life right now that are marvelous.

• I have a husband who adores me. He may not always understand me, but he always makes me feel adored.
• My children tell me that I am the best mom in the world.
• I know that God loves me.
• My family and friends all think I am marvelous.
• I have a wonderful family and awesomesause friends.
• I have a job. I actually have two jobs. Well actually I kind of have four jobs.
• It turns out there are strangers who think I am pretty okay too.
• I have a beautiful house. No make that two beautiful houses.
• I got to take three amazing vacations last year.
• I am in pretty good health.
• I wore my Chuck Taylors today
• I exercised today.
• I got to see *most* of my local friends this week as I had three events with my three organizations that I am in.
• I drank my diet coke today.
• I won a free hour consultation today.
• My children are asleep.

I could go on and on. The point is, I am blessed. To blessed to be stressed. And so I am choosing joy. And choosing to continue to write blog posts in my head and not actually write them. Maybe some day.
