Day Nine in the 30 days to a CanKan attitude

     Wake up with a smile, think positive thoughts, and that smile and those thoughts will follow you all day long. As I have said and as I was raised, what happens to you is based on you, what you will and will not allow to effect you in your life depends solely on you. Yesterday I shared that I have had things effect me and that what happens on my day to day bases play a part in my life, but I chose to change how those things played a part in my day to day life. If you are reading my blog, following and if you are trying out the projects that I am doing please as always feel free to share with me how you are doing, how it has maybe helped you with finding your CanKan attitude, and I always love to hear what ideas and projects help others. 

     
     So here we are at day 9 in our 30 days to a better us and into our CanKan Attitude. Writing a blog is actually not as easy as one would think and I find that with each passing day I am still learning and getting the hang of things. Today we were to go out and as we went through our day find a word so we could pin it to our board that expressed another positive thing about us and that we will share and show through out today and each day from here along with our past 8 words. Today The word I found and posted was CONFIDENT. 
     

     So how am I confident? I am confident as I continue on my path to a better me. Even through my hardest day I never loose my confidence in the fact that things will get better. I have made the choice to be confident in me and confident in what I do.  It truly is a great word with a lot of power. How did I show my confidence today? I got up, put a smile on , read my words and although today for me was a bit of a struggle, I found confidence in knowing that sometimes you can not figure things out on your own. Sometimes talking to someone and getting a different perspective is what you need to help your confidence. I gained confidence in accepting what I can and can not do and through conversation and an outside view found some solution to my problems so that I can keep being the person I deserve and need to be. This is how I incorporated my word. 
    
      I  also realized today as well that something I had planned on doing yesterday and that I promised I would get done did not get done. The re-do of the make-up look for the contest. For some reason I just forgot about it, and today was the last day to enter. So instead of finding disappointment, I grabbed my make-up, set it all up and as soon as my son went down for his nap I went to town and created another look and insured this time I did the correct colors and ribbon. 

     Once again I had so much fun and got to let out my creative side that I so love and has not show as much as I like. But we will change that soon enough. When midnight hit. I was so not really excepting to see my look in the top 100. But there it was. I made it even after messing up my first entry and having to redo it all over again. There it was the sixth row down first pic on the left. I could not believe it. Knowing I have made it this far, I so would love to go to the end and win the prize. But as I sit here and think about it. I won already. I did something I have never done, messed it up and tried again and with the fact I refused to give up. It payed off and I made it to the voting stage and the top 100. To me I am already a winner. To me I succeeded in my goal and made followed through. I am so proud of myself and it gave me my ONE GREAT THING A DAY JAR moment.
     
     My something new for the day was I decided to try a new food. Actually it was a new soup. With winter coming I would like to have a variety of soups and warm food for me and the kids to make and enjoy when it is cold outside. My soup of the day and very delicious I must say was Progresso Light - Italian - style vegetable soup. I most defiantly am not one for the light soups, but it sounded so good and it did not let me down. I most defiantly will be adding this soup to the cabinet and will enjoy it again soon.

So as we go into tomorrow, a new day. Between getting my son in for a sick visit with his doctor and picking my daughter up from her dads, We are going to find and clip another word and use our words to define us, define our life and define our actions to create a better us and give us our CanKan attitude. At the end of the day we are going to take our day and find that one great thing that happened, that one great thought or action and add it to our jar.

     

     Tomorrow is another day with endless possibilities, another post and another blog. Please continue to follow and enjoy. Always feel free to post your comments, your word or words as well as feel free to share what your great thing of the day was. I would love to hear it. Till then remember you define you through how you treat you and how much you believe in you, no matter how bad yesterday, the day before or today was, tomorrow is a new day. It is up to you and from me to you to become the best you and find your CanKan attitude. Goodnight my friends
