I started off grumpy, but then I decided to make today a good, productive day!

Usually, when I don't get enough sleep at night, I wake up upset and unsatisfied but today I decided to change my outlook on life and family! My uncle made me very upset, and for that I got mad at my mom, but I've made an effort to clear my mind and apologize for my behaviour. Then, I decided to once again, make the best out of my day and so far today has been very productive and satisfying! I'm happy with my family and I thank God for giving me another day to be alive and well. Even in the essence of negativity, I took a few moments to analyze the real problems (which where inexistent), and I matured by deciding to let go, and to just be free and happy! So what about you? When you have bad monings, do you attempt to make your days happy and satisfying? What a perfect day to make a turn around! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who is celebrating today!

We can if we all try control our frame of mind, we should start the day with positive thoughts after all who suffers the most if we start off grumpy, we do, I don't think anyone enjoys being grumpy and negative, good on you for taking charge and not just let the negativity part of your brain form taking over and spoiling your day.

Well done on changing your attitude about your day and trying to make it a more positive day for you in general. It is a shame that more people don't think along those lines. I don't think that enough people realise the amount of control that they actually have in their lives that they don't realise about. When we wake up in the morning, it is up to us whether we do things that make us feel good or things that we perhaps don't like all that much at all. If we try to do things that we love, every day, it will be a lot easier to be happy every day of our lives.

It's very seldom that my day will start off super slow, but it happens, and when it does, I'm going to attempt to reciprocate my mood! Positives days feel 10x more productive then a day filled with negatives!

many times we would experience this.. we start of our day as something we thought would not be good, but then it is really our choice to make. everything will then turn out well, because we chose our day to be good, to be better and to make it a good one... =)

happy thanksgiving dellessimon45, That is an optimistic attitude that need to be continue. There are times, I can turn the bad mood into a good one but I really need a wisdom from God to do it. As I cannot do it all alone. It really feels great whenever bad situation turns into a positive one, as this will really makes your day bright. Wishing you to be more optimistic and more ability to turn the depressing situation into a positive one. Cheer Up and always keep smiling.

Sometimes, i do tend to be grumpy in the morning as i start my day. Sometimes, it would be somebody in the jeepney who would sit in the farthest part and then give you his/her fare to give to the driver, when you yourself is also far from him! But the moment i realize that i am overreacting, i would try my best to make my self kinder and controlled in my emotion. In the end, i would be having a nice day indeed!

I decided exactly the same a long time ago. But also to delete people who only give me stress (incl. family) and negative energy out of my life. There is no reason to let your day be spoiled just because of one person. Althoug it's amazing how 1 person is able to do so, but 1 person is seldom be able to give you a happy day.

Im glad you made your day happy even though at first seem like you were going to have a bad day. Sometimes all we need to remind ourselves that we should be happy that god gave us another day to live and we should be thankful and forget the things that got us upset that day. I also try to be happy through out the day even though it might seem impossible at times, we decide whether let something ruin our whole day, i think nobody has control over that only ourselves. I alway try to make days happy and satisfying even though i have bad mornings at first. Happy Thanksgiving my friend!
