I like a lot of what I read here. Had to learn a few things the hard way, learned that I was somewhat unrealistic or just stuck my head in the sand.
Right now I’m just trying to stay in the moment, and living one day at a time, to the best of my ability.
If I do get depressed or hopeless, I go to my gratitude list. It’s long, and usually that makes me feeling thankful and more positive again.
I also keep this saying in my mind: If today is good, tomorrow will probably be good too.
Basically, I am a positive person, with my kids having me accused of being a polliana? at times.
There may be some truth to that, but I don’t care. I’m 83, lol. Am entitled to some character defects!
