Having an especially bad day? Everything’s going wrong and you feel overwhelmed with things and what’s even worse is nobody seems to care. People are being rude and appear to be indifferent to your problems and concerns. You’re thinking, why bother with anything.
With negative thoughts and emotions, you’re feeling sensitive and abused, hurt, angry (pick an emotion that works for you) NOW, RIGHT NOW is the time to be grateful … as silly and unhelpful as that may sound. The thing is it actually works, because how you’re viewing things changes. You see potentials and possibilities you didn’t see when thinking negatively.
When things seem at their very worst – being grateful for what you do have will be the thing that generates positive change. It’s always worked that way, it’s just that most of us don’t notice it.
So go ahead, give it a try. You’ll be surprised … pleasantly surprised.
~ Take care of you and have a wonderful day and better tomorrow,

The Why About This 
It’s a little how yesterday worked for me penny. …Amazing
thank you lovely friend Sending love
lisa
Much love to you too Lisa! xx
I have done that on occasion. In fact, when I was suicidal, it was that thought that stopped me. I was thankful that I had my kids, and whilst at that time, it felt that was all I was thankful for, it made a huge difference to me. Well, it must have done. That was over six years ago
I understand, I remember a time or too when I was so very ill and in pain all the time (with Chrohn’s) and, if it hadn’t been for little baby Christina and Nick, well … they did give me a reason to be brave through that and a few other tough periods in my life. So as I said I do understand! 🙂 xo
Kids can do that 🙂 They may push you to the point of wanting to commit murder, but they are truly life-savers
Lovely post. 😀
Thank you, Raewyn! And I do love your roses today, just gorgeous! 🙂

Sound advice …. thanks!!
Thanks Horty, we do all have certain things we deal with but sometimes people don’t realize that they’re their own worst enemy. Which is unfortunate when a change in attitude can really help, not easy to do, but worth the effort and I know you know that as well, dear friend! 🙂 xx
Indeed …. Good day!! 🙂
And good…. let me check my calendar to see what day it is … a minute here, oh yeah, and have a good Wednesday the 3rd to you Horty, If I were any busier my head would fall off! Ah well, just this time of the year, I guess! Thanks friend of mine! 🙂
🙂

Inspiring words and something to always keep in mind! Hugs to you Penny! xoxo ^..^
Thanks Barb, hugs to you too! xoxo
It is always good to be reminded to be grateful for what we have rather than focus on what is not right.
Hi Lulu, absolutely true. Well said! Thank you for dropping by and following me, I do appreciate it very much! 🙂
I am thankful for God’s providence and protection upon my family. I am more pissed off in how women are treated in the society.

I understand. Woman were made a certain way, for a reason. And behind the scenes during all the wars and famine and so on, they were there to make sure our ancestors survived. And they’ve paid a price for it. Positive change comes slowly, Yoshiko, but it is coming, my dear friend. I share your feelings of frustration!
Hope so, Penny, that positive change comes soon
It is Yoshiko, every so slowly, but it is!
Thanks, Penny
