It's not like I am the possessor of a good attitude, ladies. (And I don't like the lemonade quote, either.) I will take the tiniest thing and let it bother me so much I'm up all night. But I'm learning, with the help of my therapist, to find better ways of coping, and some of that includes a little attitude adjustment. Now I react much less often than I used to. I let a lot more things go. (And don't you hate it when someone tells you to put it in a bubble and pop it?)
My husband and I are completely different. He lets everything roll off his back like water. He can make the best of every situation and is cheerful and well liked. I'd like to be like that, too. So when I begin to assess different situations, I find I'm able to respond more reasonably.
Attitude may not be your strong suit. It's not mine either. But every once in awhile, I find it refreshing to get a reminder that it's time for an attitude adjustment. It pleases me. It's like that card from Jiffy Lube saying it's time for my oil change. (Though I'd much prefer a little lube job.)
Okay, so I'm feeling a little more cheerful than usual.
Smile, girls; Jesus loves you! (I AM JUST KIDDING!) (And I am not making fun of anyone but myself here, as this is what I sound like I should end with, yet it's sooooooo not me to say something like that, got it?) (Sheesh.)
