My Words

Last week, I did it.  I clicked on one of those Facebook app links...you know, the one that says What are Your Most Used Words?? (Or something along those lines.)  I did so assuming mine would be full of negativity...sadness...just plain yuck.  So I was incredibly surprised with my results!

Now maybe this app filters out the "yuck", but I like to think that perhaps I have found ways to keep a positive outlook.  Am I always positive? Of course not. Is it always easy to find something good? Nope. Is the work and energy to look at the bright side worth it? Absolutely.

It would be so easy to stay bogged down in sadness, to focus on what my life is missing. And there are days when I do just that. But that's not where I want to live my life. So I find the good things...do things I like doing...spend time with the people I love. It takes effort, it takes energy, but it is worth it.

Think about your words...what would your cloud look like? What do you want it to look like? Make the changes you need to make, and change that cloud from an ominous thundercloud to a white and fluffy cotton ball.  If I can do it, anyone can!
