July 9

    I spent a lot of the day driving home and just appreciating the opportunity I had last night. I feel very blessed for special things like being able to afford to give my children different experiences, but also blessed for things most people think are average- always having enough food for my family, a safe place to live, a (reliable) car, kids (also without any issues that we have no control over), etc.  I feel that it is so easy to spread negativity and I am often guilty of this. I like to try to pay just as much attention, if not more, to how lucky I really am. I'm sure it's a lot nicer to hear about too.
