Self fufilling prophesy.

When you complain..you find more and more things wrong with the universe.

as the song says:
You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between


So instead, find things to be thankful about, even if they are small. It's a mindset thing, negative just rolls like a snowball...


I will start.

I am thankful that I have a roof over my head, and food.

I am thankful that I have a mother that is in reasonable health and that i can be close to.

I'm thankful for my warm little house, my garden, my two cats and my reliable car.

I'm also thankful I have both my parents, together, healthy (unless extreme grumpiness on my dad's part is considered an ailment! lol) and that my brother is doing well for himself. Even though he earns more than me, and is two years younger, the git! lol

The wife, son, and I are all in good health and happy. What more could a fella want?


There is that one suit I saw at the vintage shop...

I'm thankful for my twin sister. She is my best and sometimes only friend.
I'm thankful the heat works. I love heat.
I am thankfull I was able to see Tori Amos from 2nd row orchestra pit.
I don't believe in self fulfilling prophecies though.
I have been trying like the devil to harness the power of positive thinking, it just doesn't work for me.

I even made my motto:
Laugh and the world laughs with you.
Weep and you weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow it's mirth
But has sorrow enough of it's own.

I am thankful for the AMAZING November weather we've been having in the sunny Southwest.

I am thankful for having two arms, two legs and a brain that seem to be in good, working condition.

I am thankful for my mom's overprotective silliness.

I am thankful for stuff that smells good.

Thank goodness I will NOT (unless I screw up) be unemployed come Jan 1.
I'm thankful I have two smart, well adjusted daughters.
I'm thankful I found this place, which has opened new doors of thought, learning, friendship and experience (and spending!)


I am grateful for the lippy thread.
