Don't forget the positives.

When I got home today from school I started telling James about my day and by the end up it I realized that he was looking kinda upset. I asked him what was wrong, and he half smiled and said that I had just rattled off a list of the day's bad spots. I realized that I had completely forgot to mention the part about hanging my artwork in a group show, which went really well.

Lately, I have been getting so stuck on the negatives. For this particular occasion I think I may be coming down with a cold, or at least fighting it off. That always leaves me a bit drained. So I'm doubling up on my vitamin C and taking my vitamins and going to give myself some extra care.

In general though, I think it's just so easy to get stuck on the bad stuff of life, so over the next week I'm going to be paying careful attention to this, and hopefully can kick the habit. In life I think it's all about what you do with the bad stuff that helps determine where your life goes and the quality of it. I for one would prefer to have a happy life, so I'm not going to get stuck on the low points, but instead try to transform those moments. That's my goal at least . Stay positive.
