this is the game where we think of something neggative that happened to us today, then how we turned that in to a positive

so for example, you could say

i was anxious about being late for work

solution: left extra early to insure i was on time

mine today was:

my drink was hot and horrible

solution: tip it away and make a new one

(only small but that's the idea of this thread)

okay it's your turn

I was up far too early.

I went for a walk and placed neighbors' newspapers in their doors. (Papers usually left in their driveways.)
Thanks for this!

No negatives here. All good vibes.

I turn that into happiness.

Negative: my German Sheperd Kida cut her foot/leg very badly last night. She severed tendons and there was more blood than I've ever seen.

Positive: we have an emergency pet hospital in the town next to us. We had enough cash to cover the surgery. Her surgery went well, and now she's home on pain meds with her giant cone head (running into everything with her cone)
Thanks for this!

negative - I spent hours (at work) rushing around trying to fix an error that someone made

positive - it was my boss's error and his boss found out that he lied about it . This is positive because my boss lies a lot and never seems to get caught

Negative: I had a nightmare about my son being attacked by a dinosaur that wanted $164. Thought about contacting him (my son, not the dinosaur).

Positive: I noticed the problem of wanting to insert myself into his life uninvited and didn't give into it.

Negative: The Waiting Room at the Counseling Center where I see my psychiatrist triggered me to no end and I had to wait there for 45 minutes.

Positive: Waiting there I happened to run into an old friend and we planned to get together soon! Yay!

Negative: I threw up my dinner, and was mad at myself

Solution was to wait a few hours and eat again when I became less nauseous.

Throwing up from meds? Bulimia? Sick?

Weary today from a busy week.

Stayed in today and caught up with an old friend. We now live on different continents. Conversed for 5 hours while we both continued doing small tasks around our homes.
Thanks for this!
