Grab on to a thought that amuses you. Appreciate some little thing. Show some interest in something new. Daydream about a time or place that brought you great joy. Inspire yourself to do, be, or see something inspirational. I am so grateful for clear roads on this cold winter day!! What the heck am I talking about? Positive emotions broaden our idea's about possible actions, open our awareness to a wide range of thoughts, and make us more receptive and creative. Everything I listed comes under the heading of positive emotions. The day does not have to "happen" to you. Sometimes I wake up scared, and it eases my heart to sing “God Bless America” and “America the Beautiful” to myself, in my own head. I pray happy things for the world. I think thankful thoughts about people I admire. I reach for something better. I feel relief. Reach for better thoughts as you start each day. I do it before I even get out of bed. It is called paving your way, pre-paving. When can you pave your own way? Pave your day in the shower next time. Pave your day on your commute. Listen to your favorite inspirational music and it is paving things for you. Pave your day while waiting in line. Pave your way to a brighter day with some simple new thoughts. Appreciate Amusement Joy Interest Gratitude Inspiration Being more positive is just a thought....really hear that! Being more positive IS JUST A THOUGHT. ~ from the work of Barbara Fredrickson as written up by Daniel Pink and somewhat translated by Many Lovely Reasons, directly for y-o-u ❤️🎉⭐️⛄️🌴🎈🐝 I write things to you that I do not want to forget for myself. ❤️ This little one is pre-paving something ❤️🌲🌲🌲

We all have different stories to tell, if you ask me, that is because the world is filled with our individual spirits. I really wish to be able to share my story with you all, at the same time, I also want to hear more of yours. I hope that we can get the time to actually get to know each other. The internet is one of the few ways that we can hope to do this. The internet is truly amazing.
