Since the other one has surpassed 500 responses, here is part 2.


In this day and age, we are surrounded by bad news, and alot of people are not feeling very positive.

We all have to make time to stop and smell the roses, especially on bad days (whether you just got laid off, or your daily pain is acting up)...there is usually something postive.

I'm hoping that many people will participate in this thread, as we could all use a smile...it is a proven stress reliever

So I'm asking of you, to post daily, something positive to you.... it doesn't have to be monumental, it can be the littlest thing... but something positive to you.

Take the moment to relax and think of your emotional health....it will do you and others good.

I mean cmon, who can't smile when someone says "my kitty gave me my first kiss today".

I shopped in a real department store today. Had to ride in a motorized buggy but it was OK. Nobody was run over no damage done.

A friend went with me. We spent almost two hours! I spent too much but it was worth it. The cat food and toy mice were necessities.

It's been ages since I have been able to actually shop.

Tasha came back in last night (after 6 days in the cold) and spent most of the night curled up at my feet purring like a lawn mower!!!!!!! I think she's really happy to be home

I am at the point where I miss my family.
Which was one of the whole points of my trip. We had become used to having each other around that people were being taken for granted. I was not appreciated and I didn't appreciate others..... someone had to go for a bit, to "refresh" things and that was me since I'm the one most affected by staying home 24/7 aside from doc appts and such.

I am happy that I've "found myself" and reevaluated parts of my life.

I am glad to be heading home, and I've so enjoyed this trip.





(one of my new goals, is to make it a part of my day to post something positive....as well as better my self esteem).

Quincy has taught Autumn how to play - either the feral or the princess in her never allowed her to properly play, total rolling around the room crazy play but that is what she did with Quincy all night.

It wasnt so positive by 3am but still heartwarming!

I woke up with both cats cuddled around me today - but they weren't touching each other.
. Nothing makes me smile in spite of the alarm clock quite as much and two purring lumps of warm fur...

It is indeed, Matt is back from a business trip tonight - we will see how positive he find it when they are running over him at 3am


That is great news about you and Gary making it to NYC


I guess its positive in that our charity still has sponsors, so it is our sponsor recognition reception tonight - we only lost 3 sponsors during the economic crunch and actually gained a new one so are very thankful for our sponsors. We are expecting a huge turnout today so not sure if there will be much food left to donate to the Salvation Army which we usually do but they are always happy to get the leftovers from the hip of beef that we serve to make soups etc

Today I am happy because the flare-up in my hand seems to be subsiding. I am feeling much better although I am still really tired from the lack of sleep. So after a nice hot bath this evening I am heading off for a good nights sleep

I'm positive today because it was "The King's" tenth birthday yesterday and he had breakfast in bed [Elmo].
(in my Mum's bed...) and I'm positive because he's still with us after a traumatic birth and upbringing.

I got all of the pies baked and the baked beans taken care of. Everthing so far has come out perfect. The kitchen is now clean and you can't even tell I was in there baking all day. It was a good day.
