AbSoLuTeLy NoThInG

I'm about to jinx myself if I don't knock on wood, but....... NOTHING bad has happened to me today. My hubby is in HVAC work and he actually worked close enough to the house to come home for lunch, positive #1. Then, my little girl got her school pics back, not sure why my son didn't since they go to same school but maybe his will come home tomorrow. Then we had a very yummy dinner at a little cafe that we had never been in. We then came home and did our nightly ritual, played Monopoly. It was fun and it was a good day.

I'm trying to look at all positives, no negative. My mom is always telling me about "The Secret". Which is basically a concept of thinking positive to bring positive and the more pessimistic you are, the worse things turn out. I have always been a believer of this. For many years I could find the good in anything and over the past 2 years I have been slowly turning into a pessimistic. It is time for me to take back control of my feelings. Afterall, one of my fave quotes is something like, its not what you are dealt, but how you deal with what you receive. That is what I'm going to start working harder at.

I am just now getting it back, after almost four years. Having hope helps to create positivity for me. Where is all this hope coming from? I do pray more, but somehow, I have just changed overall and it's definitely for the better. I still have a lot of pain, naturally, but I have learned how to deal with it. (Like you asked me about myself. I tend to go off talking about myself too much. Sorry.)

I am very happy that you are wanting to look on the bright side. It definitely helps!
