About Being Positive
I'm more of a. . .
Than a . . .

Roget's New Millennium Thesaurus defines Positive thinking as:
'Definition: positive attitude
Synonyms: bright outlook, bullishness, cheerfulness, enthusiasm, great expectations, hopefulness, optimism, Pollyannaism, rosy outlook, silver lining'
Alien terms to me, but I am trying. Maybe I can pick one word a day and just for that day, try it out, till I can do all of them at once?
I have had yet another humbling experience. My man has been positive about us and the job situation the whole time and I have been, as we all know, horribly negative. They phoned him today and offered him all the jobs he applied for, he can choose one, he starts on Monday.
Oh me of little faith!
So today is 'bright outlook'. MMmm, the sun is shining, but it's not blistering hot. It is Friday afternoon. My boss is only back in the office on Thursday next week. I have a bright future with my babes and my babies to look forward to. I have a wedding to plan. I have petrol in my car, food on my table and the prospect of going home to loves and cuddles tonight PLUS we get to watch DVD's.
Not too bad for my first try. I figured I have always been a morbid pessimist, maybe I should try something new?
