Have You Had a Change of Heart?
The list on the whiteboard was a big hit with my husband. I had put a smiley on it yesterday. Today, I put a heart on in with "J" and "P" on it. That made him smile. He was a different, happier person when I got home from work. He was so proud of himself for his accomplishments. Although the list was not done perfectly, I really bragged on what he had done. I've got to build him up if he is to feel better about himself. That will give him more energy and a brighter outlook. It will also make me happier.

The list has had a positive effect on me as well. It's helping me set realistic goals for him, and it's helping me focus on what will make him healthier and happier. I don't moan and groan about what I wish he had done while I was at work I'm just happy that he feels good about his day. What a difference a little change of heart makes.

Can you think of examples of when your attitude or perspective changed, and you saw something in a completely different way? It could be positive or negative, but it's so much more productive to think of a positive example. How did the change of heart come about? How did it affect your actions? Did it change the way you interacted with another person?

I'd love to hear about your own experiences with this. *Bigsmile* There are no wrong answers!
