You have always been sincerely willing to listen to, and consider, opposing points of view.

As are you my friend :)

When the universe serves you lemons ….make lemonade ;0)

A great thing to remember. Thanks

What we focus on grows.

And American songs often reflect that maxim such as the traditional "Keep on the Sunny Side"

Just like every painful breakup lead us to the bliss we have now ;-)

Amy day you wake up is a good day!

Always look on the bright side of life....do wop, do wop.

Here we go:

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best
And
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the light side of life
If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle, that's the thing
And
Always look on the bright side of life
(Come on)
Always look on the right side of life
For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow
Forget about your sin
Give the audience a grin
Enjoy it, it's your last chance anyhow
So always look on the bright side of death
A just before you draw your terminal breath
Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughin' as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you
And
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the right side of life
(C'mon Brian, cheer up)
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
I mean, what have you got to lose?
You know, you come from nothing
You're going back to nothing
What have you lost? Nothing
Always look on the right side of life
Nothing will come from nothing, ya know what they say
Cheer up ya old bugga c'mon give us a grin (Always look on the right side of life)
There ya are, see
It's the end of the film
Incidentally this record's available in the foyer (Always look on the right side of life)
Some of us got to live as well, you know
(Always look on the right side of life)
Who do you think pays for all this rubbish
(Always look on the right side of life)
They're not gonna make their money back, you know
I told them, I said to him, Bernie, I said they'll never make their money back
(Always look on the right side of life)

Sound advice. I am trying very hard these days.

Your blog is a good and necessary reminder!

Accentuate the Positive - Eliminate the Negative

Absolutely! It's all about perspective. Every situation has a silver lining, and it's vital to focus on that. No need to sweat the small stuff, just keep looking at the bright side!

Needed this today. Thank you!!!

Half Full is a very healthy perspective to keep.
Sun will come out TOMORROW!

Great advice and reminder. I'm very fortunate indeed.
