Positivity

It is tough to be around negativity. I mean, if you're around someone that is always down in the mouth, always pessimistic, always negative, it wears on you. It usually doesn't take long before you find yourself being negative too.

I love everybody - I really do. But, as I have mentioned before, there are some folks that it is better that I not be around them, and "Debbie Downers" are some of those folks. If I find myself around a ball of negativity, I try to find a way to get out of the situation. If not, I'll eventually join in and start downing everything and everyone too. And, that ought not to be...

Today's word is a quote that I keep in mind when I am having "one of those days". It says, "You can't ALWAYS be Happy, but you can ALWAYS be Positive."

Yes, sometimes life sucks. There will be days when everything that could goes wrong seems to. There will be days when you think it cannot get any worse, just to see that it does. On those days, there's absolutely nothing wrong with being unhappy. Yet, even in the midst of unhappiness, if we really try, we can be positive. And, I don't mean positive that things are going to get worse.

I admit that this is not my specialty. It is something that I need to diligently work on. It's tough to be positive when things are going down the drain. Yet, I also know that I have so much to be grateful for and thankful for. So many blessings that I could NEVER name them all. If I keep those things in mind, I would venture to say that even when I may be unhappy, I could still be positive. I pray I will remember that.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
