Accentuate the Positive

Aug 3, 2009 10:53 PM
I know it's a tough and interesting time in our lives these days, but, I'm seeing a lot of pessimism and anger in many of the posts and threads. That's okay with me, there are a lot of reasons to be angry and pessimistic, and lots of threads to express that on.

This is about just accentuating things with a positive spin on them. Beware, I am just full of good things to say about anything I can find good in. If that drives you nuts, don't check in here, it will only irritate you.

This is about real life, and if you're having a bad time, okay, share, I'm sure you will find people who will sympathize. This is a thread where if you're mean spirited, I hope you will find another thread to express your orneriness on. Not this one. This is about conversation, compliments when appropriate, camaraderie and fun.

Do I have bad days? Oh, yes, and as I said, there are a lot of threads to express that on.

So, welcome to anyone who would just like a place to have fun, share something good, anyone who just would like come and say "hi, I'm having a good day and this is what's good about it".

When you post a thread like this one, you're really "sticking your neck out". If it disappears in a day, I won't take it personally.

This is an invitation to express your happiness and joy. Live is far too short to not share those things. imho

Saturday I got a gazebo screen house like I had been wanting for months. I had gift cards for 40 $ so I got it not only on sale but for less than 100.00! It is like an outdoor living room.

Thank you, galbetty, for trying to bring a positive note to the boards.

Might not seem like much, but yesterday I shopped at Walmart. I had added my items as I shopped and thought I was spending about $100. I was elated when I checked out and my purchases came to $68!! Now I can go back and spend more!!

(((Betty))) You're such an upbeat person. :)

Trala, that sounds great. I've always wanted a 3 season room to take the fresh air in and keep the bugs out.

ssr, what a nice surprise.

Sunday I had the opportunity to visit with my BFF from FL in person. She was in MI for her DB's funeral, which was sad, but we had a wonderful few hours together.

I think both of your experiences were great ones! Anytime you can get anything on sale, and especially something you really want, it can make for a good day.

I've been enjoying the evenings and nights here, just taking my dog out for walks. I have never seen so many fireflies as I see this year. So, fireflies flickering all around, and stars in the sky just make me smile.

Blake grew a tooth and he's scootching around like nobody's business. I am doomed when he starts crawling. But since its Blakey, doomed is a good thing. ;)

Hi feisty, hard to believe he's already scooting around. Yep, you've got your work cut out for you, but, it's good work.

Thanks for starting this thread Betty. I always feel better when I think positive. (and I can live vicariously through everyone else's good fortune. :) )

My list of 'positives' for today include:

My foster kittens are healthy and growing like little weeds.

The new management where I live is hosting a meet and greet bbq today, so I get free food, and I don't have to cook! :-D

Hi Dianne, I agree that positive thinking sure helps me. I am always uplifted by hearing of other's good fortune and what makes them happy. Sounds like you've got a good day going on.

I thought bron's bringing in the theme from Benny Hill was really clever, and it made me laugh.

I collect dolphin paraphernalia and got a catalog today that shows 5 dolphins leaping, and I think I'm going to order it and add to my dolphin stuff. It's not very expensive either.

I love the theme from Benny Hill! You'd have laughed if you could have seen me sitting here, 'chair dancing'! LOL

You know, I noticed something over the years. There were days I'd go to work in a bad mood or whatever, but I had to put on the happy face. And before I knew it, I felt pretty good! :)

I've got errands to do today. I like shopping, even if it's only for a few necessities. Oh. One more thing for my happy list.....I still have some $ hidden in my wallet from my stimulus check. Maybe I can find something fun to get myself. :)

Good morning everyone. I'm up far too early, but, that's good. I'm going to head over to Junque's coffee thread. I had a good day yesterday and enjoyed hearing about all the good things that happened for people.

I had to laugh when Dianne was talking about her "chair dance" to the Benny Hill song. I did the same thing. Sounds like barri had a great day, too.

Hope y'all have a great day. I plan to shop for fresh tuna, take a walk, try to do something good for someone and just generally have a good day.

For any of you who might be having a difficult or stressful time, I hope whatever the issue may be will be resolved favorably for you.

My foster kittens had their first vaccinations, wormer and flea treatment last week.
They were delivered to their new home yesterday. Two little girls, 6 and 11, are thrilled with their new kittens.
