Skip to me in 2012. That PMA stuff is a really good thing! Sometimes I have heard people say its just a "Pollyanna" attitude. Ignoring the real issues, the real problems, real life. I now disagree. I think it can make all the difference in the world to living a happy and peaceful life. I was even backed up by someone I heard while listening to the radio today. "It is more difficult to be positive than it is to be negative." Maybe that's like you using more muscles to frown than you do to smile. I really think we need to look for the positive, look for happiness, create our own peace. Of course there will always be sad times, tragic times, difficult times. But, I think keeping things in an Eternal Perspective and learning to calm yourself, learning to feel peace within your heart, that's what true happiness is. And, things always change, that's the one constant. So, if you are not having a good day, or there is something tragic or depressing going on in your life, change will come. Also, a friend of mine taught me something important. She asked me if I am the kind of person that believes that if things are going well that only means pretty soon something bad will happen. I admitted that I did believe that. She said that a therapist had told her that there is no basis to believe that. Think about that for a sec.... there is no basis to believe that just because things are wonderful something bad has to even it out. So, now when I am enjoying life and the thought "oh no! what bad thing is going to happen" creeps into my mind, I kick it out of there!!! I am going to keep having positive thoughts, and enjoying life. I will deal with the bumps and bruises along the way....but, I am having a GREAT TIME! I invite you to do the same.
