Positively Happy

   Hello again! May I just start with saying, sorry, I do believe I am the worst blogger in history! I never know when I will find the time to write and trust me I wish it was more often! None the less, here I am using the time I did find to finally post! So I do hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it!

   Recently I have been thinking and talking about the same topic. Being positive. Now I know you could expect to see "think positive" on a cat poster or perhaps a banner in your math class. How often do we actually stop and think about what it is to think positive? One definition I found for positive was, "something that is good or useful". So let's just say for a moment when you are told to think positive you are being told to think good and perhaps usefully. So when you don't find that adorable polka dotted shirt in your size or your favorite basketball teams looses the big game, you think of good. 

    Now I know it really isn't that simple. Things happen and it's not our first instinct to put a smile on when our dreams or hopes get crushed. But it is an important tool I've come to realize can help in many situations. Let's take this broad topic of positivity into a specific area, relationships. Relationships are not always perfect, no matter how much we might not like it, that's the truth. So what do you do when the going gets tough? Some may simply quit, some may want a break, and others might not even know what to do! May I just say really quick that I'm not specifically speaking of a couple here. We all have many different relationships in our lives and this applies to all of them.  So when your Mom is being extremely unreasonable or your boyfriend is working a lot and you can't see him as much, what are you gonna do? THINK POSITIVE! 

   Put that smile that everyone loves so much on your face and fill your mind with those good and useful thoughts! You can't wreck a relationship when you focus on the other persons positive attributes or characteristics. In fact, you can only grow! So yes, the going is gonna get rough and tough. But when we focus on the positives, those good and useful thoughts, we might just find ourselves in closer and stronger relationships in the end. That's what I hope happens to every single person reading this, that you might gain a positive spirit and perhaps even leave with a smile on your face!
