Theses are my thoughts and ramblings as I forge my way through this thing they call life. |
12 Days of 'Christmas' Blogging Challenge Look On The Bright Side - December 21 https://nationaltoday.com/look-bright-side-day/ Okay so a little Monty python anyone? Yes, this is a little warped, but hey, why not. I laugh as I shake my head. I like the idea of being optimistic. It is better for your health. It is a choice we make each and every day. Former President Barack Obama discusses the power of optimism, stating, “Your response has to be to reject cynicism and reject pessimism and push forward, with a certain infectious and relentless optimism.” I have to agree with that sentiment. I grew up within a negative environment. My mother was eventually diagnosed with depression when I was sixteen, but before that we lived in the shadow of her mood swings and negativity. I think what helped was watching Oprah and learning that optimism is a choice and that my life is not as bad as other people's. I like that there is a day for this. Still, I think it should be an everyday thing. Make today your best day. |
