Preventing a Hardening of Attitudes by rosesandsmiles at 8/13/2009 2:25:17 AM Forgive me I stole this from another site it is so uplifting to me. What do you think? Many people today tend to focus on what's wrong instead of what's right. A lot of the pessimistic behavior we see in ourselves and others is really an unwillingness to accept change or at least to have a better attitude towards it. There are times when you don't have control but you do have a choice to be optimistic or pessimistic... An old French proverb states, "The most completely lost of all days is the one on which we have not laughed"...Humor in my life helps me prevent a hardening of the attitudes...What are some of the things you do to be more optimistic?

flirty_me_1	8/13/2009 4:15:17 AM Great, isn't everything about attitude. Laughter is essential. "A Positive Attitude will go a long way!" Change in itself is not good, only if it improves the things around us. Remember change is also going backwards..it is the positive that keep things changing in the correct direction.
pretty_moonpa	8/13/2009 4:33:18 AM I laugh every day...even on the days that I cry. Those are the days I go hunting for humor. I call it having balance. Most days the humor just jumps out at you but the down days it wil pass you by if you dont make a conscious effort to seek it out.

alrose	8/13/2009 9:56:03 AM My dogs are clowns, so even a bad day alone, always has a laugh! Just to see the sky, stars, and moons bring wonder. How can you not be uplifted by seeing a flower bloom or a bird take a baht. I love life and the friends I've mad on here are remarkable. Thank you!

southernlady888	8/13/2009 10:57:10 AM I would like to share a few lines: A SURE WAY TO A HAPPY DAY Happiness is something we create in our mind, It's not something you search for and seldom find-----It's just waking up and beginning the day by counting our blessings and kneeling to pray-----It's giving up thoughts that breed discontent and accepting what comes as a "gift heaven-sent".
dhg1	8/13/2009 12:15:27 PM to be more optimistic a good start to that would be to ask me in person sometime.
