When I'd hear people say "focus
on the positive" I'd think "that's just stupid Pollyanna crap -
that's not reality!"
I finally realized focusing on the
positive doesn't mean ignoring all the difficult, messy stuff.. it means paying
attention to, dwelling on whatever is in some way good
Sometimes finding the positive is
like getting to the other side of a storm...
Looking outside today at branches of
bushes & trees, all bowed down from
the weight of the heavy snow, I thought about resiliency - what survives, and
even thrives is what bends, what is flexible...
For people, it takes a lot of
strength, determination, resourcefulness and patience, to be flexible, & to
rebound... but I think it's worth it.
I want to try to be the growing
thing that has resilience.
