"The most important thing in life
is to stop saying 'I wish'
and start saying 'I will.'
Consider nothing impossible,
then treat possibilities as probabilities."
-Charles Dickens
One of my informal resolutions this year was to try to remain positive. I have a tendency to focus on the negative and then further the problem by dwelling on it. I have been feeling a little stressed out and down lately and last night I literally had to say out loud to myself all of the things I am grateful for. Because, really, in the bigger picture, I live a pretty charmed life. Instead of complaining about my problems, I am going to be productive and do something about it.
Despite my efforts, I still tried to invite everyone I knew to my pity party today. Shame on me. I had to laugh, picturing David Sedaris with his lisp, saying the following quote to me:
"If you're looking for sympathy
you'll find it between shit and syphilis in the dictionary."
