stay positive

Ongoing, but I think I am doing a great job! (see?)

Scientific proof exists that staying positive has health benefits. Cancer patients are more likely to survive if they remain positive, and are able to keep their sense of humor during treatment and recovery. This is huge! Imagine what that means for those of us who don’t have cancer? I would much rather spend my time on earth being positive.

It’s easy to say “stay positive” when you are having a good day. It is more difficult as times get tough… and that is when we need it the most. I need a good cheerleader these days. Me. I need to be that cheerleader. Go ME! You can do it, yes you can, you can do it, you the WoMan!

My mom used to tell me not to say can’t. I used to say it a lot as a small child. I took it out of my vocabulary for a while and it did make a difference. Staying positive isn’t always easy… but the amazing thing about life is that the positive is in everything… yes, even in horrible things… it is there and we are the detectives looking for it.
