Accentuating the Positive

Why is it so durn hard to be positive? I rebuke all negative vibes that are trying to assault me. I hereby douse all negative vibes with this YouTube video:



Better yet, I'm going to do this:

Things for Me to Be Happy About (in No Particular Order)
1. My health. I have no chronic conditions, I'm on no medication, I have 20/20 vision, I'm 100% fine.

2. My job. My job is so great. I get hordes of days off, I get the whole summer off and still get paid, I have fun, it's very low-stress, I work with very supportive people, and I love it.

3. My family. I have two awesome, loving parents who are still married to one another, I have two brothers who are cool and stick up for me.

4. My finances. I have good credit, I have enough money to live in a nice apartment and meet all of my needs with a tiny bit left over to placate a few wants.

5. My education. I thank God that I was able to go to a good school, graduate with a degree with which I was able to get a decent job, and to learn a foreign language. I'm also thankful that I now have the opportunity to continue my education even further.

6. My car. I have a decent, working car. That's a big deal to me because there was a time when I had a car that had problems.

7. Trips I have to look forward to. I'm going to STL later on this month, and this coming summer, I'm going back to Spain.

8. My church. I have a lot of great people to worship with, people who love and care about and support me just like a family.

9. My friends. Of the few that I have, they're really cool, loving, loyal, and supportive.

10. My bed. I have a really comfortable bed.

11. My teapot. I know this is weird, but my red teapot is somehow . . . comforting.

12. Sunflowers. I was given a bouquet of flowers with sunflowers in them which is now sitting on my coffee table. They're just so pretty and positive.

13. My self-esteem. I'm so glad that I don't struggle with this like I used to. It's so relieving to be able to say that I'm not a bad-looking girl and that I have a lot to offer.

14. My bookcase. I'm so glad that I have a built-in bookcase to house my random book collection.

15. My hair. I'm glad that my hair is a nice length, that it usually does what I want it to do, and that it has a nice natural reddish tint to it that some suspect are highlights but I assure them that it's the real deal.

Gee, I feel better.
