SOL 30/31 - Changing Our Attitude to look at the bright side of things

I think there are times in all of our lives when we only see the negative in what is happening in and around us.  I found this quote this morning when I was looking for my thought for the day for Michelle.  It's a very appropriate thought regarding my slicing.

I look at my surroundings, at people, at life's experiences differently.  My attitude isn't always "good", it isn't always "positive", but when writing slices, I try to look for the good, the positive, the building up, the blessings. 

So I challenge you today, to look for all the beauty around us - the brown grass turning green, the gray skys turning sunny, the rain making the flowers grow, the cocoon changing to a beautiful butterfly, ranting turning to listening, the baby's crying turning to cooing and smiles - the list is endless.  It's up to each of us to look for that change.

    Thanks for the reminder Judy! You are right, it's all how we look at things, and which attitude we will embrace.

    Negative never works. Look for the good, the beauty and your whole being changes. I'm sitting here with my head cold, but it makes me appreciate all the days of good health that I have. I will get past this uninvited guest to my body!

    A great reminder - it takes less effort to look at the positive side than it does to be negative!

    Love the quote. It is much more meaningful to me after the last few weeks.

    Love your quote, Judy. You could start a quote site! It's snowing now, and although I know everyone is ready for spring, it's still a pretty sight to see out the windows!

    You always seem to know what I need to hear. Thank you, Mom, for just always knowing. Again, I can say this, you are right.

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014

Tuesday SOL - 1/13/15 - Trying "To Do" Retired

Image
Last week was my "first" week of RETIRED.  Humm.... just what does that mean? I can't say that it felt any different.  We just got back from being out of town for 10 days, so it was catch up time.  Picking up Max, unpacking, doing laundry, cleaning up the dead lady bugs that had accumulated on the floor, grocery shopping, mail...  The list seemed endless - retired???? Then a voice mail saying my aunt was in the hospital in Florida.  Many calls trying to figure out what was happening.  Many more calls checking up on her on a daily basis.  Thinks are improving. Now this week, things are slowing down, but how do I wrap my head around being retired?  How do I stop my brain from making my mental "to do list" of things that HAVE to be accomplished?  How do I decide what I REALLY want to do as opposed to what NEEDS to be done and when?  How do I answer people when they ask "what are you going to do now that you're retired?" This is go...
