"Nevertheless" Attitude

Today my daily devotional from Joyce Meyer "Trusting God Day by Day" was about going through life with a “Nevertheless” Attitude. This way of living consists of acknowledging a difficult situation and then finding an offsetting positive thing to put the challenge into perspective. I’ve decided that from now on I am going to do my best to live by a “Nevertheless” attitude.

52 List

I was doing some surfing today for Project Life stuff and came across a great blog. As I was reading the posts I realized how special this would be to incorporate into my Project 52 album. To see next year where I was this year. To see how I've changed in a year. So I am going to be adding these Weekly Lists into my album.

If you'd like to check it out for yourself, here is the link.

52 List for Week 1 is "Words that Touch Your Soul"
This really made me start thinking about what hits home for me. So far my list has the words:
Nevertheless
Children (my son Brian & my daughter Laura)
Grandchildren (Grayson, June & to be decided)
Rosie (my dog)
Monster (my dog I lost to cancer)
Baby, Sweet Pea & Herby (my cats)
Friends
Calm
Quiet
Content
Sunshine
Warm
Home

I know it seems odd to have the word Nevertheless as a Word that Touches My Soul but I have a reason. I was recently reading my morning devotional from Trusting God Day by Day by Joyce Meyer and the reading was about the word "Nevertheless". To go through life with a "Nevertheless" outlook. A "Nevertheless" is a positive that I can focus on to help me get through the difficult time. This way of living consists of acknowledging a difficult situation and then finding an offsetting positive to put the situation into perspective. Right now one of my "Nevertheless" statements is - "It's cold outside right now, nevertheless, in a short time Spring will be here." Since I don't care for being cold this is a great way to help me push through Winter.


52 List for Week 2 is "My Greatest Comforts" -

I'm sure before the end of the week I'll have more words that will go on these lists. I'm looking forward to next weeks.
