Have you ever noticed that you spend more time looking for negatives each day that you miss the little positives that are all around you.
It happened to me just a week ago while on vacation. We had stopped at a beach to let me walk off my aching back. As we walked I noticed this little old man (I think that he was old) seated on a lawn chair at the edge of the water blowing bubbles. These were not your typical tiny bubbles that children blew. These were massive. I walked right on by to the other end of the beach without a second glance.
If I had been a little smarter, I could have walked over to where the man was quietly seated and enjoyed the show as I stretched. I don't think that he would have minded even a little bit. :(

@Hate2Iron I don't know how it's done. Maybe just a stronger solution perhaps.

It was and the bubbles were huge. It puts a smile on my face just to remember the afternoon!

@hate2iron I wonder were the bubbles a sign of happiness or senility?

I'm hoping that they were a sign of happiness. It was a beautiful day and the park was packed!

I highly doubt it. But you're right, staying positive can be hard.
