Take Time To Focus On The Positive

My most magnificent friend Kathy (wiffyatthehub) is an inspiration to me on the whole, as she always has such a positive and upbeat attitude and outlook regardless of what she is going through herself. Today she inspired me to write this post, because she asked [in a comment] that we spend time focusing on the good. If you can stop for a moment and take time to list all of the good and positive in your life, this will help turn around your energy, give you hope, and the inner strength to move forward with a smile on your face.

Here are the positives in my life that I would like to share;

- Everyone here that I love and cherish for all of the support and help they provide on a daily basis

- Health and well-being of my family and friends

- Family and friends who believe in me and support me continually

- Ability to see, walk, and talk

- The simple pleasures and mini adventures in my life

- My spirituality

- The adventure that is about to ensue in my life, for that I am incredibly grateful

After listing my positives, I feel invigorated, rejuvenated, and so fantastic!

If you feel comfortable doing so, please share your positives here and let me know how you feel after you finish listing them. Thank you!

what a wonderful idea ladies! ok here is mine.

-friends here at support groups( i feel important and care for thanks guys)
- my family(theyre a blessing)
-having a roof over my head and a car
- the everyday pleasures in life of being able to watch tv or play on laptop
-playing outside with my babies
- god for always being there for me no matter what
- every blessing the lord bestows upon me every day

after writing this and during writing this all i could think about is how not one of these are lesser then the other. to me they are all number one on my list. i was smiling while writing this. it was a neat thing to do. thank you again. :)

lots of love.......Ashley

I really appreciate this post. Too often we focus on what we DON'T have and not on the things we do. My grandmother was a Pollyanna at heart and sometimes I think of her to get through the tough times.
Some things I'm thankful for:

- my wonderful supportive family

- a loving and considerate partner

- my dog who loves me unconditionally

- my friends who know my faults and love me (in spite of/or because of them)

Have a wonderful day and think happy thoughts!

Cleo, how amazing to have grown up with such a wonderful role model, and that remembering your Grandmother reminds you of so many positives. This reminds me of my mother, I only ever think of her smiling and laughing and always focusing on the positive. Talking to her and thinking of her always turns my energy right around to that of good and positive. Thank you so much for sharing with us! I hope that you are having a beautiful day and smiling!

Sending you many positive vibes and wishing you all of the best.

Yup Wffy could be a doctor, she knows lots of things that are right on. She is amazing for sure, she helps, supports, gives options and never complains about herself, so i'll do it and she can hit me later lol.

She does these things and yet she is in real pain 100 percent of the time, so everyone should give her a pat on the back, she deserves it. Ok Kathy time to hit me if ya can, i duck quick and run fast LOL.

Everyone have a great day

Hi Michael, you are so very right about Kathy, she is outstanding and should be a therapist. She is so selfless and beyond considerate, though above all else she instills such positivity and hope.

Sending you many positive vibes and wishing you all of the best.
