Words. They can lift us up or bring us down. One word can make or break your day or mood. Mean, ugly, worthless, hateful, bitchy, useless, fat, horrible, just writing these words sours my mood. Happy, nice, helpful, beautiful, friendly, sweet, so much better. Words can have long lasting effects. Do you remember being scolded as a child? I do. Vividly. I am not saying it was not deserved, but I do remember it. Lasting effects. How are you using your words? To lift up or bring down? Hopefully it is the former and not the latter. If someone does utter those hateful words to you, try your best to ignore. Know your self worth and brush it off. Easier said than done, I know, but try.
How was your weekend? Mine was laid back. I stayed home, for the most part, and got some much needed things done around the house. We are painting the dining room and hallway this weekend so I wanted to get some cleaning, sorting, getting rid of done. We moved in to hubby's house when we got married, so we are working on making it our own. Not that it has been difficult. It was quite bachelor/boy decor when we moved in. It is amazing what some decent paint will do to the look of a place. I am in search of a dining room table now. Hubby had one and lost it in the divorce which is a shame because I really liked that table. It was just the right size for any kind of activity. Wink wink. Oops, family blog here, sorry. So we are now on the hunt for a new dining room set. The one we have now belonged to my parents and one of my weekend projects was doing some repairs, but I think I was only able to do a band aid fix and it is time to replace it. Luckily it is Labor Day weekend and you know what that means, Sales!!!! My favorite. Maybe I will get lucky and a Groupon will pop up. I love those things. Do you use them? We have eaten on them, traveled on them, and exercised on them. They are awesome!!!!
Hope your Monday is happy. Loving the sunshiney weather. It makes my heart happy! Give someone a kind word today.
Hugs!
