So I’m noticing blogging is extremely therapeutic!  

My thoughts today are just reflective on the people in my life. My life is filled with amazing, positive, life giving people that bless me on a daily basis! Life is too short and there too many people to love and too much territory to be taken, to have my life filled with people that are poisonous. You will never reach your potential if your best friends are “downer Debs” (sorry again Debbie, its just a saying)  If the people closest to you are basement thinkers and always tell you why you shouldn’t do something, or why it can’t be done or just speaking death and not life they are withdrawing something from you. you may want to take an evaluation and start replacing your circle with people who deposit life and love into your bank. (even if it is just cookies with a note on someones door step, thanks Jess)

I have asked God to help place people in my life that are life giving, that I can trust, that fill my life with the fruits of the spirit, and of course I would love to be able to laugh often with them (sense of humor), and God has been so faithful with my request and honestly I can say I am so blessed and my bank is so full and I’m so rich with friends and amazing people in my life! 

There are two people in life “basement thinkers” or “attic thinkers” One will always think of every reason it can’t be done, or  feel stupid for even dreaming it, these people always put you on their negative playground. These people are never satisfied or rarely truly happy, they always see the glass half empty, with no hope the glass will ever be filled and if it is filled it won’t be right or taste right (basement thinker)

The other  person always thinks of the possibilities and how things can be worked out and how things will get better and how the glass is half full (attic thinker) So…..Which one are you or which one represents those closest to you? If you are a basement thinker, it doesn’t mean your a “bad person” is just a bad habit or a pattern set, then get on the stairs and climb up to the attic! Its a matter of making the decision and then filling your life with attic people!  OK, Breaking it down… its a matter of asking God to fill you or your basement friends with his fruits (kindness, gentleness, meekness, joy, peace, love…etc) and literally putting a filter on the ‘ol trap!
