“It makes a big difference in your life when you stay positive.”
Ellen DeGeneres
Thank you for finding another great quote, Spidey, that really resonates with me.
Firstly, have you felt, recently, that to use the word positive brings up all sorts of negatie connotations, purely because of this pandemic? I almost feel like I shouldn’t say positive, in case some one thinks I am talking about a positve Covid-19 test result, rather than a state of mind!
But, for me, being postive is one of the biggest victories in life.
As long as I can keep that Postive Mental Attitude up, I can make sure that all the bumps life sets in my way can be easily navigated.
I’ve had a fair few bumps over the last year, as well, from work-related stresses, to the house situation, to losing my writing mojo, and that all important biggie that has affected us all, the PANDEMIC!
But, I’m still here, and I’m still smiling through it, finding reasons to be grateful for being where I am.
It’s all about finding that silver lining, isn’t it?
So, do you find it easy to see the positive in all situations?
Have a peaceful Sunday Peeps.
But I Smile Anyway...

Why does it become harder to stay positive during the night’s rather than daytime?

Interesting thought. Your mind can go wold at night I know. I’m, personally, too exhausted to stay awake worrying, but I’m only human. These things happen to me, too. Deep breathing,,a bit of meditation, always helpsx😊

Oh, once again these differences. Here at first the very old ones were called vulnerable. Then the yougsters, and now the 50+ are called this way. They dont know, what they should do. Lets hope some someone will know.

Hi Ritu – I’m usually a positive and happy person, but I’ll admit the pandemic has been challenging. Getting some sort of exercise every day (even if it’s just moving around in the house) has been a great help. Always good to have a reminder to keep smiling!

It’s getting very hard to find the positives, Ritu, but I fall back on the old spiritual aphorism: ‘this, too, will pass’. The world will certainly be changed; and we will only know to what degree as the years pass… go well, stay sane. The light at the end of the tunnel is not another train!
