So, in my quest to be more positive, I have been seeing more clearly how negaitve I used to be. Which is good becuase that is the whole point of this blog. To make me more aware of my negative attitude and to turn it into a positive attitude. For example, I was stuck behind a school bus this morning cause they had to stop for the railroad tracks. You know...safety and all! Anyway, they stopped for a whole 5 seconds and I almost missed the green light and I was already running a little late for work based on my standards. I could feel myself start saying, "Come on bus, just go." But then I stopped and thought, how can I make this a positive thing? What would I put on my blog about this? So, here it is! At least those kids on that bus have a driver who is safe enough to stop for so long to make sure a train isn't coming. At least those kids are going to school and not getting into trouble somewhere else. I think that I can be a few minutes late for safety, especially for kids' safety.
I have had many more negative realizations and I am shocked at myself and wonder how I got this way? And then I wonder how many other people are that way and just don't notice or choose to do nothing about it? What a better world we would live in if some people just gave the benefit of the doubt or saw the positive in things. Believe me, I know that it can be hard to see the positive. I'll talk about that beginning on Sunday. But if there is one thing I have learned this year it's that positivity makes life so much more easier and happier!
I like where this is going. I hope I'm the other penguin touching heads with you in the pic!
