This weekend I am accumulating positives. I am putting them in my positives piggy bank. I will be able to draw on the positives to help me stay strong when things go wrong.
In the overall scheme of things, my positives are not very big. The dishwasher can be repaired. We don’t need a new one. The company that I felt was not being cooperative called – on a Saturday! (OK, so I called the corporate office on Friday; more on that in another post). I just may get that settled. The blizzard we were supposed to have fizzled and I got out to a Relay for Life event. Today is sunny and the beastie baby and I got to go to the dog park. These are all things that have gone right. Score! Score! And score!
Sometimes when things are not the best, I forget that all is not bad. There is a lot of positive things that happen to me. I just have to give some thought to the things that are right instead of wrong.
I am a 62 year old who goes to a hip hop dance class so it would be hypocritical for me to say I don’t like modern music. What I can say is the old music had better messages. Remember watching Bing Crosby in White Christmas? How about Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music? I am thinking about Count Your Blessings and My Favorite Things. Both of them have the message we should be aware of positives and remember them when we are down. Both of them are about accumulating positives.
This is short but I said what I wanted to say. Enjoy the music!
