Day 9 of No Complaints Challenge

Day 9 of my no complaints challenge:
After almost 3 weeks of being sick with almost every symptom in the book, we are finally all better. This has been extremely difficult to keep my “no complaints” thing going. How do you not complain when every waking moment you feel beyond awful? How do you not complain when there is seemingly no end in sight? Well I did “fail” a few times depending on who you ask. If you ask me I have been excelling, due to the fact that I becoming super aware when I am complaining.
Success is a matter of perspective. The fact that I am becoming more mindful of my attitude and deciding instantly to put a positive spin on it, makes this a huge success so far. Our failures do not matter nearly as much as the way we respond to them.

Old Perspective: I am sick, stuck (I get claustrophobic if I’m in one place too long) in the house, alone, taking care of a sick and teething 13 months old that is screaming and throwing tantrums.
New perspective: I am absolutely grateful and honored to have a baby to take care of, to call me momma, to want only me to cuddle and care for him while he is sick. This time forced me to slow down and take many moments of rest with my son. There is no place I would rather be 😊
