Being Grateful Keeps You Positive

This Sparked Me!

When austerity comes we tend to dwell in worry & sorrow. I have found that when I begin to feel that way if I take a moment to be thankful for what I have & it lifts me out of the worry & sorrow and brings me back to feeling positive and happy. What worry & sorrow brings is just more of the same. You can choose to be happy by recognizing that there is a calm after the storm, you must have rain for things to grow and time heals all wounds.

    You are sooooo right- I found the silver lining to "no work"- is is TIME ! Using it for exercise, preparing healthy food and working on projects.

    I agree. You can choose to be happy. And it's always good to be thankful of what you have. We all have our blessings.
