Positively positive

Its easy to be negative. About everything. All the time. Its easier to complain about things and be a grumpy bear than to actually work to change anything. Its the easier approach, its the lazy approach. Its the approach a lot of us take. Be honest......I am wayyyyyyy guilty of this.

One of my good teacher friends/friend friends, who goes way above and beyond to help out her fellow teachers, decided that she was allowed to say something negative ONLY if she follows it up with a positive! What a great idea! So I started doing it too. You know what, it helps. What a smart woman she is.

Its easy to get sucked into the suck of the day. Like I have had maybe 4 days my whole year that have been COMPLETELY good. However, have my days been total crap buckets just because a few things happen to tank hard? No. Have I let myself think they have been? Yep....WHAT A WASTE OF A DAY! There is a lot I have to be happy and positive about.

Also....just a side note...if you want to complain about how terrible something is and how blah blah blah whatever it sucks, okay but you better be trying to fix/improve it then. Like you're in a sinking boat, and you sit there with water blopping in around you and you complain "man this water is coming in and stuff and it sucks!" and then you just sit there because you would rather do that and be a lazy sloth person then actually have to try and repair the boat? Okay well you deserve to sink....hope you took swim lessons........but you probably didn't because you're too lazy....okay anyways.

Am I saying don't complain? Absolutely not. Complain away, but try not to let it consume you. Try and pick a few positive tid bits out of your day. It will help. Your heart will smile more. Who doesn't love a smiling heart???? (okay maybe except this one because its totally creepy...)
