Having something positive to say...

I've tried to start a discussion several times this morning, under several different interests, and they'll all turned into rants. I'm not willing to post a rant today. I'm taking control of my own mind and choosing to find something positive to say.
So my positive thing to say is... I'm having fun on mylot this morning. It might not seem like it to others. Some of my responses have been very serious. I haven't made many responses for the amount of time I've been here either, because I've been doing a lot of reading and then not having anything to say. But I am having fun on mylot this morning, because I have seen several of my friends here, and their words have made me smile.
So rather than ranting, I'm going to make this positive post, and what I want in response is... Are you having fun here? Are you smiling today? If you have ranted, do you at least feel better about it now?

Good for you. You certainly put a smile on my face. I will follow your lead and focus on the positive. I just checked my articles at Helium and found one that had dropped in the ratings has moved back up. There was a typo in it, and I sent an email to the help desk and they fixed it for me. That was a couple of days ago. So I'm feeling good about that.
As for my time spent here on mylot this morning, it has been more postive than negative. I have just been reading around looking for discussions to respond to. I've read some interesting ones, posted a couple myself. Now I have a few chores to tend to, but I don't mind because I will feel good about getting them completed.
Have a great day!!

$3 a day would be nice. Do you mind if I ask how much time you spend? Or do you have a lot of referral earnings? I'm just curious because I'm lucky to break 50 cents on any given day.
By the way, glad I could put a smile on your face.

Hi lecanis, I think it's great that you are having fun here today. I feel the same way and I'm glad you decided to post something positive. I may appear serious most of the time, but I'm also happy and enjoy a good laugh - after all it is the best medicine, and I'm still here - and healthy I might add. Blessings.

My positive thing to share with you is.............I like the way you recognized that you were headed in a direction that you did not want to go. You stopped yourself. You took control of the situation. I am proud of you. I enjoy being one of your many friends.

I'm just getting on the computer after watching s/o play his game all day when he should have been sleeping. I am happy to be here finally, I'm happy that he has one thing that gives him pleasure in life even if it is a computer game, I am happy that he is at least getting an hour and a half of sleep before heading off on snowy roads to work a 12 hour shift. How's that for being positive lol?

I have to say I have days and even weeks were I seem to read a lot but not post, as I I have nothing to say or I have but I cant be bothered as I am in an untalkative mood. I still enjoy my time on mylot though and I do smile at a lot of post's and replies to posts.
Although I am not on your friends list I hope I can still make you smile. *wink* I have to say reading your posts gives me a smile and even a laugh out loud! It is hard to think positive stuff with so much negative things to think about but it is good if you can make a choice and even if you don't believe the positive things you say or write or think, it takes away the time spent thinking about negative stuff!!
KEEP SMILING! :-)
And as you may have guessed by now I rant and yes I do feel better most times after doing so!!
Would you like me to go on?
I could you know, I could just rant and rant aboout everything and nothing, but it must be your lucky day as I am going to stop now. Bye! =)

Fawcey... how can you not be on my friend's list??? This is a horrible oversight! Please accept my request or I'll... cry or something! :P
Haha, it's great that my posts make you smile and laugh! Your replies have definitely made me do so as well! :)
Ranting can be a good thing too, when you feel like it will help, but yesterday I just didn't feel like it was the right way to go for me. I'm pretty intuition-based like that, when it comes to making decisions about my attitudes and behavior.

I would hate to make you cry lecanis, so of course I have accepted your friend request. I could not resist it anyway becuase of your juju! lol
Glad I have made you smile, I guess seeing as your post's make me smile it is only fair!
I understand about sometimes knowing that ranting will not be a helpful thing, and it is good that you have that kind of intuition and know what is good for you and that you can act on it. I am pretty good like that too, but like everyone some days the self control isn't as great as it should be!! =)

Thank you very much for this reminder. We all need to be a little bit more positive and let the things go that bother us. One thing I can say I am happy I have a little more of my Christmas shopping done this week than last and I am almost finished. I even bought myself a little something. Thanks again and have a wonderful day!

I had lots of fun today. I went Christmas shopping with my daughter which was fun but the parking was not fun and the line was not fun. But I did smile a lot today and I did make others smile and laugh. Which means all in all it was a pretty good day. I do rant sometimes and after I do that my day is pretty much cleaned off from the bad stuff and ready for some good times hehe.....

Oh I'm glad you had such fun shopping! Of course there are less fun elements to everything, but it's all about what you focus on. ;P
I can understand ranting helping like that, I do it sometimes myself, but yesterday when I wrote this I just decided I wasn't going to for a change. I've had some weird moods lately, but this one is a good one at least! :)

I have fun on mylot for the most time, but somethimes I feel negative, and some of my responses are also serious, but not rant. I don't know why sometimes I would feel depressed...lol...Some of my friends say to me that "why you always look like dispirited?" Then I just don't know how to answer. Am I really a negetive person?...lol...
Well, many times I did smile when seeing some interesting discussions. Here, friends cheering me up, I think the positive thought may make you more happy whatever you do.
By the way, you really make me smile, not only because of your discussion, but also your avator. It's in Naruto. He's very kind. ^_^

Some of my responses are serious too, actually, because there are sometimes serious topics addressed that interest me. It's part of life to sometimes be serious though, in my mind.
It's great that you sometimes smile here as well. :)
Aww your avatar is very cute as well! I love my Iruka-sensei avatar, I'm so fond of that character, because of his kindness and protectiveness. I choose characters for avatars specifically because of traits the characters have that I want to have as well. :)

I have to admit, I don't start very many discussions and my discussion for today was about how my kids got ugly stares and comments from others. I'll try and be more positive tomorrow. I have to say that the replies ARE making me feel better about it now.

Yes I usually have fun here. Yes I have smiled today. And some on mylot are responsible for my smiles:)It's good to do the reading. Means pay attention before you respond!That is awesome. Nothing wrong with serious either.That just indicates what you post is important to you. Enjoy your positive attitude. I hope it brings a smile or 2 your way

Well, I know a lot of people who come on mylot to rant about things that are going on in their lives, and yesterday I almost found myself doing the same thing but decided not to do so. I was asking if you have ranted on mylot, did it make you feel better, getting it out of your system?
