Positively speaking

One thing I have noticed over the last week or so, is how few people I come across who are positive about life. Most people (myself included I am afraid to say) have something to gripe about - at some point in time or other. Which is why - when you do come across people who are genuinely happy with their lot, they seem to glow. They also seem to attract other people to them  like bees to the proverbial honeypot. Like attracting like? Well in this case, i'm not so sure. But it is interesting nonetheless.

So a task for you today - try not to speak ill, negative or other kinds of "down" words either to yourself or other people. I was staggered when I stopped to listen to my thoughts, listen to the grumbling about bad drivers, can't drive in the rain, what is she wearing - kind of comments that seem to litter my thought processes. And started instead to "see" the good - and was rewarded with a perfectly arching rainbow, backdropped against storm grey clouds. Which then prompted another thought - in order to see rainbows - first you have to have rain. Yes there is always negative around us, but you can see the positive - if you look for it.

So today all I am asking is that you look for it.
