Positive Polly

I was thinking the other day about what direction I wanted to take this blog.  Several things came to mind, but the very first was making an all positive blog.  I tend to be my very worst critic, and I know that many of us our, but honestly I tear myself down A LOT! Barrett is always on me for not telling him the good I do in school, compliments I get, etc.  It's sort of a dilemma that I have because I don't want to sound prideful though I know I do well at somethings, but I also just tend to harbor on the negative and dismiss the positive/successes.  I also have a hard time taking credit because I know all things are for the glory of the Lord, not our own.  So my idea was to get on here when there is time and write things I have done well, and only things I have done well so to boost my confidence.
Then I thought of several other ideas not really coming to any conclusion.  I sort of dismissed the idea because in all honesty I don't really need to take the time to do this with school and wedding planning.  However, I talked with Barrett last night about it and he thought the 'all positive' thing sounded like a great idea.  And besides, my prayer journal is almost full so maybe I could take a spin at this occasionally.
I don't plan to do this often and I am not even going to seek out followers, but this gives me a way to 'talk' out loud and build myself up.  I wont say that I will commit to 100% all positive, but I do commit that in every entry I will follow anything that isn't purely positive with something that is positive!  And sometimes they will be really small and silly, but it will hopefully help me to build confidence!
Ok, so my positive for today...although I did wake up late I have been productively studying for our pathology test we have coming up and I made good waffles this morning even though I have a stinky waffle maker!

Picture: not actually of the waffles but of me cooking homemade stuff crust pizza and sugar cookies for Barrett and mine's first Christmas together!
