A choice...

Ok, I'll be honest, I have not been the most positive person for the last week or so.  I admit to feeling overwhelmed by my growing to-do list of life things - work, home, family, the usual suspects.  And today has been an extremely trying day.  But, after a night of great conversation with Big V, I have a question... What if we all made the choice to focus on the positive?  I mean everyone has a story, everyone has something that they are dealing with in their life that is consuming all of their energy.  The nutso driver on the freeway, the unpleasant checkout lady, the person at work who is determined to convince you that you are wrong.  And typically, those life consuming things are the negative things, the things we wish we could change/fix/heal/solve for someone, be it ourselves or someone we love.  So, my question is, what if we try to remind ourselves of this, what if rather than getting annoyed and letting it be part of our story, what if we took a second to remind ourselves that everyone has a story.  What if we allowed everyone just a little wiggle room, and rather than try to combat the negativity, we accept it with positivity.  I promise, each and every one of us has something (if not several things) to be thankful for.

I have to say, just putting all of this out into the universe is helping me to face the things I have to deal with, with a little more positivity.  Try it, what is one thing you are thankful for?

And, since I have been talking about knitting so much, I finally completed my scarf made from the beautiful yarn Big V got me for Christmas.  Here is my ravelry link so you can check it out.  I plan on blogging about the scarf and the process in the next few days.
