Breaking Through

Somewhere I heard that 75% of a person's thoughts are negative - that we keep having this inner dialog with ourselves.

I think that sounds kinda high but the point being, our thoughts really can impact on who we are and who we become.

Interesting article about our thoughts, noting how Liberace , that great kinda in/kinda out the closet showman, learned the power of positive thoughts and transformed his life.

I can only imagine what must be going through a child's mind who has been in the foster care system for most of their life.

To have a breakthrough, to get a semblance of trust and happiness is going to really be one of the greatest challenges we have faced in our years together.

Part of means being aware of our own thoughts and how they have guided us throughout our lives and continuing to work on them, pushing them over to the positive side.

But I know in my heart and mind, that no matter how deep the challenge, we will meet it as a family.
