I am not sure if it would work, but it might be worth a try.

Respond to a negative stimulus as if it were a positive stimulus? How do you think we survived this long? It's like weeds coming up thru the cracks in the sidewalk, pushing their way up. But it's nice to be growing up on a lush golf course.
It just makes you crazy after a while, when you have the nice possibility at hand. I didn't think anything of it either til I stayed at a gf's house and her mother put three meals on a SET table every day! She was our state's mother of the year for her volunteer work, but I would have given it to her for the placemats And fruitcups.
