My first week...

Coming up with a daily positive comment for everyone in my family has proven difficult this past week--mainly because we just got back from vacation and I tried to start while we were still gone.  It's been hit and miss because of that.  But!  I can see that it is becoming easier for me now that I'm home and can focus on it more.  I am becoming more conscious throughout the day as I focus on what my kids and husband have done that would prompt a positive comment from me.  I'm finding that it's easier than I thought.  It's harder to give myself the positive comment, but I'm working on that even though it takes me more time to figure it out.  I have discovered that a "positive comment" can come in all kinds of forms:  a compliment, an encouraging word, noticing something that would not have been noticed before, or just a statement that I can see makes my kids or husband feel better about themselves.  I'm glad I have a month to work on it.  Hopefully I will improve over time and it will start feeling more natural to find and focus on the good moments of the day.  So far, so good!
