Every night before I go to sleep, I make a list of 3 happy things that happened today and three crappy things that happened today. I take a moment to review the crappies and determine if there was anything I can do to change them. If not, I say the serenity prayer:

God Grant me the strenght to accept the things I can not change

The courage to change the things I can,

And the wisdom to know the difference.

It's a good idea, but much harder to do than to say for some. Like me. I'll try it though.

Thank you for the upbeat post. I too like to look for the good things in everyday. Like the sunshine, or the birds singing, or just plain feeling good.

I think that if we could at least post one positive thing that happened or that we noticed every day that we would all feel better reflecting on that.

Thanks
hugs, Karen
