1) I feel really good today, a little bit of anxiety here and there but doing fine!
2) I got good news at work that the guy I wanna hire is coming on board soon!
3) I saw my baby's 3D ultrasound today, mind blowing stuff!
4) Wife and I decided on an apartment downtown.

And well just for good measure

Awesome Josh!!

I am so happy for you.:) Making a gratitude list is a great way to stay positive and keep anxiety at bay!

Congratulations on 'seeing' your baby! How long until he/she is due...and do you know if 'he' is a he or a she?

Wishing you a glorious day right back.;)

Great idea, Joshua - thank you!

Congratulations about your baby! When is he/she supposed to make a live appearance? :)

1) I got all of my necessary tasks completed for the day and can leave at 5 p.m. guilt-free.

2) I had several good laughs with co-workers.

3) My head hasn't hurt AT ALL. After months of headaches, this is a very good thing. :)

4) Being excited about this shows that I'm a true fat kid, but my lunch was soooo yummy! haha

5) Talked to my husband a little while ago and he's planning a "date night" for tomorrow night. Yay!

Also, I really, really, really concur with Joshua's #6.

This is awesome! So many people (myself included) focus on the unpleasant things that happen during the day, that it is hard to remember the good things! Keep practicing this technique! Congrats on your baby, that is one of the most uplifting things a person can experience!!!!!!

Great post Joshua,

Such a positive to make a list of what was good about your day....when we struggle it is far too easy to focus on whats not so good about our day instead of what was good. Kudos for your post...it's certainly a powerful method to use as a step in the right direction and a great tool to use on the road to wellness~!....have a great weekend....Wingman

SC & Berock,

Baby is coming September 9 or thereabouts. We don't know the gender yet, but I've already bought a bunch of boy clothes. So, if it's a little girl she's gonna get dressed up in a lot of blue! :> It's so hard to stay gender-neutral when baby shopping, everything is either blue or pink!

Lexa,

Thanks, I find that keeping myself motivated about the positive does a great deal for me. Thanks for the congratulations!

Wingman,

Loving your tagline, was feeling just a tad bit of anxiety, started to worry about "Why doesn't it ever go away!" Glad to have stopped by tonight to read, your tagline makes absolutely sense, and something I try to remind myself about.

Thanks for sharing about the baby:)

Are you able to feel him/her kick yet? I am sure your wife is...but it can take a while longer until others can sometimes. If not already, it should be soon...that is really exciting.

I dressed my girls in blue as babies too. Lots of pink as well, but breaking it up with bllue was fun. Also they had pale skin and light blue eyes, so it just looked good on them.


Wishing you and your wife well during this amazing time.

This is awesome!! I've started posting an "I'm grateful/thankful" post every night on Facebook and then when I blog I end with that too.

Here goes:
1. I made it through the entire farmers market, only needing 1 break.
2. Cheese curds are salty and delish and were my reward ;)
3. I was able to spend this time with my hubby and 2 kids.
4. I was able to drive to my parents today.
5. I was able to self-talk through most of my anxiety today :)

Thank you Joshua for posting this!!
