accentuate the positive

I think I have a pretty good attitude in this respect at the moment so I’m calling this goal complete.

Having recently lost a close member of the family, I need to work at reminding myself to remember the happy times rather than indulging sadness.

As I said to my son the other night, “it’s not easy but it’s OK to remember the happy times when you realise Grandma’s not there.”

I’m tired today (my own fault for getting to bed late the last two nights after a busy weekend) so I’m not doing such a good job of accentuating the positive.

I guess it’s easier to be negative about things when your body is telling your mind that you’re overtired and badly need a holiday!

As the old saying goes, is the glass half full or half empty? It’s a matter of attitude. I often need to remind myself to be positive and, as the Monty Python song says: “always look on the bright side of life”.
