POSITIVE DAY

Today's post is a powerful message, one that is the brainchild of my dear friend, Jen of Dust Bunny Hostage. Her Daughter, referred to as Diva Daughter, read a review in the Wall Street Journal about the latest Harry Potter movie. It was not positive and she was disappointed. She gave a lengthy monologue about the negative things she had read. Dust Bunny Hostage walked her over to the computer, clicked New Post on her blog, and told her to "have at it"(you can find that post HERE).
When she was verbally sharing her opinion, Diva Daughter stated"when she becomes president in 2032, she will instate Positive Day. She claimed it will be a day for people to think about the things they are thankful for and to share the things that make them happy."
It was another blogger,Travis , who urged her to state now, and so began the birth of "Positive Day." It's a day to Count your blessings. Tell why you are thankful. And CHOOSE to "accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative."

I AM POSITIVE.

I believe in attitude is a choice. My glass runneth over.
I am a wealthy person....in the things that matter most: Family, Friends, Health.
But above even these, my salvation. My salvation is my Foundation of the person I am. Without that foundation, I would crumble-hopeless.
I am grateful for the jobs my husband and I have. Days we might like to complain and then to turn on the news, it is obvious that our jobs are blessings. They provide for our daily needs-our home, food on our table, education, and the things that come with those. Go to any country, including parts of our own and one will find that these are such blessings-and often times taken for granted.
I am blessed for my family-My incredible partner, husband and best friend-my children who make me laugh and live through a child's eyes daily. They keep me young. For the family I was born into and the upbringing I had. For my extended family and the blessings they are to me.

My friends. They are my support. My comfort. My joy. My constant. Faithful and true.
This includes the so many kind bloggers, who are actually strangers but are friends. They lend me support and laughter on a daily basis through visits and comments to my blog.
I am grateful for music. For Dance. For words. For my senses to experience these things.

I am happy for the person who lets me merge in traffic, they didnt have to. They could've been rude.

The person who covers their mouth when they cough because I dont like to share every things....like germs.

Little things like that.

My reliable car. It gets me where I need to go.

For my puppies that who love me unconditionally. I am pretty certain *almost* as much as God himself. They love me when I am wrong or right.

Diva Daughter-for coming up with such a POSITIVE idea! You are a breath of freshair-and a big heart-just like your momma!

For the people who protect us daily: The military, the police and fire departments, government offices who make decisions regarding we the people daily.

Prayer. For because of it, I am certain I am here today. I walk and breath and am healthy because of prayer.

And these are just a FEW of the reasons that I wake up everyday THANKFUL, POSITIVE and happy.

Because smiles are contagious. Go ahead......SPREAD a SMILE.For more POSITIVITY go to Jen's Blog: Dust Bunny Hostage.-it's yet another blessing in my life.

Hugs!
