It’s Been a While, a Long While…

Filed under: Through the Thoughts of Others — Lindsay @ 10:10 am

It’s been a while since I’ve written, and not for lack of caring but for lack of time and perhaps insight. I’m not convinced that anybody but myself (and perhaps my family) reads this but today I’ve had a bit of an epiphany that I’d thought I’d share. Yesterday was possibly one of the worst days I’ve had in a really long time. I won’t bore you with the details but I’ve come to the conclusion that my attitude regarding the things gone awry can make a huge difference.


“Being positive or negative are habits of thoughts that have a very strong influence on life.” - unknown author.

There are things in my near future that I’m not looking forward to, or things in the recent past that I regret. In any respect, these things happened or are going to and my outlook can drastically change how they affect my life. If you go into something thinking that it will be horrible, then it definitely will be. But a positive attitude gives you a fighting chance at turning undesirables into “not so bad”. And “not so bad” is totally doable.

So my epiphany is positivity. And hold me to it! From this day forward, it’s rays of sunshine and glimmers of hope, at least theoretically.
