Anyhoo, they said not to fear, negative people. This can be changed. So, today, I am starting on a new program of intentionally attempting to be positive and to see the positive wherever it is in my life. Even if I feel like garbage. Let's hope it works!

Good luck with your new intentions. I know you can do it! It just takes some awareness, some dedication and some practice. I think it will truly change your life! It has changed mine and I have seen this transform the life of friends.
This community is largely positive and/or appreciates the positive. It's helpful to me to be around other people also working on finding the positives in life.
My Best to You!!!
